What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first UK edition, first impression.

In the publisher's original uncommon unclipped dust wrapper.

McCullers's novel follows 12 year-old girl, Frankie, who is so in love with her brother, Jarvis, and his wife, Janice, that she thinks she can join them on their honeymoon.

McCullers eventually adapted her own novel into a play that opened on Broadway with Julie Harris and Ethel Waters, and won numerous awards. The play was adapted into a motion picture of the same name, which was also a great success.

Condition
