The jacket is present but heavily stained, chipped and torn. "Out of the darkness of Charleston's underworld, the Catfish Row which we have come to know so well in 'Porgy' came mamba to work without pay in the Wentworth's kitchen, for the sake of the distinction which would come to her from being connected with quality white folks. She was black and old and toothless but she fought bravely for her children. And this same courage was in the heart of Hagar, her giant daughter. When only murder could save lovely Lissa, her heart was ready and her hands able." Illustrator: . Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; Inventory No: 138691.

Book
Tan Cloth. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Reprint. Tan Cloth. Good/No Jacket. Hardback. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 311 pages; illustrated end papers; from 'Author's Note:' ."Ihave not hesitated in this novel to apply the correct names to the city, streets, and outlying districts of which I write. Lest this course should lead the reader into confusing the narrative with either history or biography, I desire to stress the fact that the work is purely imaginative and is concerned only with certain social and spiritual values existing in Charleston and its environs." Book condition: The book edges (the three paper surfaces) have darkened somewhat to a moderate tan color; internally, pages throughout are a very pale tan-tone; cover has some areas of light soil; I assume that Doubleday Doran's issue preceeded Literary Guild, so classify my copy as a 'reprint.'.
