About This Item

Simon & Schuster, 1950. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Langston Hughes' short stories of the Harlem everyman Jesse B. Semple, a.k.a. "Simple", were first published in The Chicago Defender which was arguably the most important Black periodical in America at the time. This set includes a vinyl LP read by Ossie Davis. The first three books are first editions; the last two are both 1965 printings. Very good condition overall, some fading to jacket of the first volume
