by GORDON, Caroline
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1934. Hardcover. Near Fine/Good. First English edition, published in the U.S. as *Aleck Maury, Sportsman.*. Near fine in a soiled, good dustwrapper with several modest chips and tears. The author's most important and celebrated novel, about a Southerner who is both a scholar and a sportsman, based on the life of her father. As might be inferred from the subject, interest in the novel in England was bound to be minimal, and the first printing there was almost certainly miniscule. Exceptionally uncommon in the English edition. (Inventory #: 414660)
