New York: Arcadia House Publications. Good in Poor dj. 1939. First Edition. Hardcover. [solid reading copy only, spine turned, spotting/soiling to page edges, original owner's name and address on front pastedown; jacket worn and soiled, large pieces missing at both ends of spine, long closed tear across front panel (internally tape-mended and not too obtrusive), various other tears but I'm sure you've got the idea by now]. Romance novel with an ambitious heroine, Holly, to whom "the green fields of far-off pastures were more alluring than her own less glamorous surroundings. And love in an easy tempo of peaceful security was something that didn't fit into her romanticized dream of life. She didn't want peace and calm days. Clayton Brown represented enduring love in a quiet place. Jelke Sutter was glamour -- and danger. Holly wanted adventure -- and found it." (This author's name is rendered as Eleanore Browne on most of her other works.) . (Inventory #: 16056)
