The Country of the Pointed Firs Sarah Orne Jewett 1896 Signed First Edition VG

The Country of the Pointed Firs. Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin & Company, 1896. With clipped author's signature affixed to the flyleaf. A most pleasing example of what many consider to be Jewett's finest work.

A collection of short stories that blends into the novel, all of which comment in some way on the decline of life in late 19th-century Maine Fishing villages. An important work from a highly influential writer whose contribution to American letters is oft-considered under appreciated. Very good, lightly rubbed along the extremities. Overall a tight and attractive copy. The item "The Country of the Pointed Firs Sarah Orne Jewett 1896 Signed First Edition VG" is in sale since Wednesday, January 29, 2014.
