NY/Boston: Duell, Sloan & Pearce / Little, Brown, 1953. Hardcover. Fine. First edition. Tiny tear to the edge of the half-title, corners of a couplepages a little bumped else fine in especially crisp and fine, Barbara Corrigan-illustrated dustwrapper. Fourth book, a novel by a Chicago-born author who moved to Taos and befriended D.H. Lawrence. The story is set amongst a large family in Mexico City, and surprisingly reveals a slight foreshadowing of Magic Realism. By the author of *A Cow is Too Much Trouble in Los Angeles.*.
