The Green Pastures

New York: Farrar & Rinehart, 1929. First edition. Fine. Though slightly leaned, the jacket square and with only modest shelfwear at ends of spine, owner's name on front free endpaper, price intact, spine unsunned. 8vo. 173pp. Original green cloth; original printed dust jacket. A superior copy of Connelly's classic play (and early Farrar imprint), winner of the 1930 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, and successful film of 1936. Connelly based the work on 'Ol' Man Adam an' His Chillun', Roark Bradford's reimaginings of Biblical stories from the point of view of a Depression-era African American child.
