About This Item
New York: Harper and Row, 1942. Sixth Edition. ANNE SEXTON'S COPY, FROM HER LIBRARY, and a copy originally having been her mother's. 8vo, green cloth over boards in the dust jacket. 346. A very good copy in a dust jacket with wear and chipping . FROM ANNE SEXTON’S LIBRARY, the book bears a warm 1943 gift inscription from Raymond Stanley to Sexton's mother, Mary Gray Staples Harvey. Stanley refers to her as "my favorite Sunday school teacher... who taught me the truth about 'Gone With The Wind.'"
-White’s personal, informal running commentary on what might be called his global excursions and reflections. He writes of his salt water farm in Maine, of his old love New York City, and of the troubled sky which hangs above us all. It is the record of a restless and humorous mind, treating of many subjects-the nature of dogs, the anatomy of warfare, the radio pulpit, hay fever and lambing and freedom-and lending them humor and wisdom and eloquence. -Publisher
