THE CARPENTERED HEN AND OTHER TAME CREATURES

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1958. Gilt cloth and boards. First edition of the author's first book. Spine ends a bit rubbed, top and bottom edges faintly darkened, first signature sewing starting (as is occasionally the case with this poorly bound book), but better than a good copy, in a price-clipped first state dust jacket that is somewhat rubbed and lightly dust soiled, with a few small blood/rust blemishes on the lower panel. (Inventory #: WRCLIT44607)
