About This Item
TORONTO: DOUBLEDAY, 1951. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Hardcover. Book Condition: Very Good interior As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair ( scratched across title). First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The Eye Is on the Sparrow is Ethel Waters - her warmth, her faith in God, her lusty humor, and above all her courage. Her story begins in a sordid Negro tenement in Chester, Pennsylvania; it ends 50 years later in a star's dressing room on Broadway. Ether Waters - illegitimate, born in the Chester slums, unloved by her slatternly mother, pimp's errand girl, honky-tonk singer, and then, by turn, a fabulously successful blues singer and actress - has never been discouraged.278 p. : ill. (on end papers) ; 22 cm. ; grey cloth in photographic dust jacket ; photos on endpapers feature Ethel Waters in 'Mamba's Daughters', 'Member of the Wedding', 'As Thousands Cheer', and 'Pinky' ; a nonstop recounting of Ethel Waters' life, wherein she mets Bessie Smith and other negro vaudeville greats and encounters Jim Crow at its worst in Atlanta and Birmingham ; a powerful testament.
