The Robber Bridegroom

First Edition, First Printing (1942). Fine in a very good plus dustjacket. Original teal cloth with the white lettering bright and in tact and with the pink stripe unfaded on the upper cover and the spine. Beautiful and rich. Dustjacket is richly colored with a small closed tear on the front small and light wear to the spine head and joints. Some toning to the rear. The author's very uncommon second book. Welty's loose retelling of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, set against a Southern backdrop. Copies in this condition are mostly not found at all. One of the best we've seen of this wartime production.
