About This Item
Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 1974. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Inscribed to Greg Gatenby, longtime director of the Toronto International Festival of Authors: "For Greg, Grace Paley, 1995." With Gatenby's ownership signature and date ("1995") on the FFEP. Near fine because of some minor sunning to edges of free endpapers (only) and one nick to the outer edge of the front free endpaper. A very good price-clipped jacket with slight rubbing and a sun-faded spine.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
