Stated First Edition in original unclipped dust jacket. Clean blue cloth boards with yellow lettering on spine. No fraying or wear. Binding is tight and square, hinges are sound - no cracking. Pages and edges are clean, with clean endpapers. No names, writing or bookplates. 469 pages. Clean bright dust jacket is not price clipped, has a few tiny edge chips and short closed edge tears. Enclosed in new archival quality removable mylar cover. This novel is the story of Geoffrey Barton, an English boy who came to the United States, and his adventures of mind and feeling in the years until he became an American citizen. With Christopher Morley's incomparable knowledge of the comedy of life on both sides of the Atlantic, and his irrepressible pleasure in the rough and tumble escapades of youth, it is also a story full of sympathy for the shy and lonely inwardness at the heart of all growing creatures..
