About This Item
New York, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 1977. Book. Illus. by Raphael, Elaine. New. Cloth. Reprint. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York, NY, Alfred A. Knopf, 1977. Reprint. 8vo. Brown cloth with gilt lettering embossed on spine and blind stamp of trees on front board, tan endpapers decorated with a Vermont farm scene, illustrated throughout by Elaine Raphael, rough-cut pages, 434 pp. In its quiet, delicate way, this is a love story and a religious story. Comic and serious, endearing yet cruel, as it explores family quirks while following the drama between James L. Page- a keeper of bees, miserly, cranky, fiercely patriotic, obstinate, hardworking and honest and his older sister and housemate, Sally Page Abbott, sober-eyed, progressive and forced by hard times to come back to her brother for help. Dust jacket has some shelf-wear, including a small, flat tear. New, unread condition in a very good dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover. No family feud has ever been so much fun! A great story!.
