Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Type: Hardback First Edition. Hardcover Ex-Lib Book in Good Condition. No Jacket. Ms Farnham's (1883-1957) three books set in the U. S. Midwest are probably her best works--"Rebellion"(1927); "Lost Laughter" (1933); and "Great Riches" (1934). She won a $10,000 prize for her first novel, "Rebellion".

In "Great Riches" she depicts the rise of a young man in a country town, with domineering parents and scheming women.
