Price clipped dust jacket, designed by Arthur Hawkins, Jr., with an illustration of a luna moth over a teal background to the front panel, is Very Good, now in mylar protection. The Moth tells the story of John Dillon, who matures over the course of the novel from a young boy with a beautiful singing voice into a man who has been hardened by the roadblocks he encountered along the way. The book - a social commentary on the Great Depression - was met with somewhat mixed reviews, prompting Cain to remark "a simple tale, told briefly, is what people really like.".
