Ma Pettengill

Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1919. First Edition. Octavo. 19cm. Publisher's brick red cloth titled and decorated in black to spine and front board. Dustjacket. 324pp. Minor bumping to spine ends, some light scuffing to corners and extremities, spotting to page edges, internally clean, two small closed tears to the margin of the dedication leaf and contents page, with the rear inner hinge cosmetically cracked; the dustjacket is clean and strong, a little faded with some light soiling, some marginal creasing, shallow chipping and a pale pink stain to the front panel. A very good, handsome copy.

One of Harry Leon Wilson's "Red Gap" collections, replete with down-home wisdom, and folksy fortitude.
