About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1932. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Octavo, 241 pages, brown cloth, severely cocked - as seems to have happened with this title (from too many readers??)
The Georgia back country is the squalid setting for this novel ( later a popular play ) of the degraded family of sharecropper Jeeter Lester, and his sick wife, Ada. There is no proper plot, but an episodic chain of events" - Thesuarus of Book Digests.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
