RAMONA A STORY by Jackson, Helen Hunt:
Book Description
Boston: Little, Brown, 1900.. Two volumes. Large, thick octavo. Half morocco and suede over boards, spines and side panels elaborately decorated in gilt, t.e.g., others untrimmed. Illustrated with plates after drawings by Henry Sandham (with all but the frontispieces in two states, some tinted, others colored). Inoffensive private bookplate on each pastedown, early brief gift inscription on preliminary blank in first volume, some shelf-rubbing to suede edges (but much less than usual), otherwise a near fine set. The deluxe issue of the "Monterey Edition" of the author's most widely known work of fiction, and second book in rank of importance, after A CENTURY OF DISHONOR. Introduction by Susan Coolidge. One of five hundred numbered sets, specially printed and bound, with the addition of the expanded illustrative matter. "RAMONA, a maudlin, sentimental story, is of course not a great novel. But it is an exceedingly important California book...by exposing the abuses to which Southern California Indians were subjected, it resulted in numerous wholesome reforms in the administration of Indian affairs" - ZAMORANO 80. ZAMORANO 80, 47 (ref).
