About This Item
Travels with Charley. In Search of America, etc by John Steinbeck
Pan (Pan Books. no. M110.) 1965.
Appears in new unread condition, toned and browned evenly overall. Name neatly written in the front. 8' Australian price on back.
"In 1960, Steinbeck bought a pickup truck and had it modified with a custom-built camper top – which was rare at the time – and drove across the United States with his faithful 'blue' standard poodle, Charley. Steinbeck nicknamed his truck Rocinante after Don Quixote's "noble steed". In this sometimes comical, sometimes melancholic book, Steinbeck describes what he sees from Maine to Montana to California, and from there to Texas and Louisiana and back to his home on Long Island. The restored camper truck is on exhibit in the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas."
