About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Grosset & Dunlap, 1912. Reprint . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good+. Wyeth, N. C.. Highly collectible edition because the DJ cover was done by N.C.Wyeth (unattributed). In 424 pages with pen-and-ink illustrations throughout, this is the full text of Helen Hunt Jackson's 19th-century work, "Ramona,'' widely acknowledged as one of the greatest stories ever written about old California. The Native-American romance was made into a stage play & motion picture, continuing to enthrall subsequent generations, & the legend of Ramona lives on today in the San Diego County town that bears its name (note: a 18-year-old Raquel Welch played the leading role in the town's production of the Ramona Outdoor Play). This the Grosset & Dunlap reprint of the 1912 edition (originally published in 1884); no statement of publication, but research places it c. 1940s. Hardcover12mo has brown & beige tweed cloth-covered boards with darker brown lettering & decorative lines to front & spine. Condition is Near Fine: exceptionally clean & bright, with some darkening to external page edges. Three pages have slightly dogeared upper-outer corners, unfolded. All pages unmarked except for an ugly old thrift store price in red to ffep. Binding strong & straight, hinges secure. The unclipped DJ is a beauty: colorful & bright, but downgraded to VG+ due to slight chipping to head of spine & corners; nicely protected in new mylar cover free!
