About This Item
New York: Duell, Sloan, & Pearce, (1959). First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. 12mo, 309 pages, cloth; dj torn cleanly
Inscribed by the Author to her friend, Betty Johnston, of Geneva, Illinois, where Budd moved in 1940, and which town is largely the locale of this novel, the last in her trilogy. "Athough she is nearly forgotten in the Swedish-American community today, Lillian Budd was once one of the most popular authors Swedish America ever produced. Beginning with April Snow (1951) and continuing through two additional novels, Land of Strangers (1953) and April Harvest (1959), Budd presented the story of a single Swedish-American family emigrating to the Chicago area at the turn of the twentieth century. Much as Vilhelm Moberg did in The Emigrants , Budd attempted to give a sense of the broad sweep of the emigrant experience, following the family of Karl Mattias Petersson from Sweden to the New World and into an American-born generation. Indeed, one of Budd's press releases called her "USA' s Vilhelm Moberg". - Carl Isaacson.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
