About This Item
New York: Viking Press Company. Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket. 1926. First Edition. Hardcover in jacket. OCLC: "Roberts's novel traces the coming of age of Ellen Chesser, the daughter of a poor itinerant farmer. Against all privations and the forces that would subdue her, Ellen is sustained by a sense of wonder and by an awareness of her own being. Reduced to the bare elements of life, her world becomes a ceremony of daily duties that bind her to the natural world and her family. "The Time of Man" stands as a beautifully written tribute to the human spirit.“First edition bound in blue cloth with bright gilt along the spine - light edgewear and some foxing to page edges otherwise complete in 382 bright pages. Dust jacket has edgewear with some chipping and sunned spine.”"From the American First Editions collection of Donald C. Scriven (1948-2019). Don relished points of issue and the primacy of the dust jacket but above all he loved the literature! .
