(1951), 340pp. VG in G, lightly chipped dj which has a half inch open tear at the top of the backstrip. Eleanor Mercein Kelly, (1880-1968), was born in Wisconsin and moved to Louisville, Kentucky in 1901 when she married. She wrote three novels set in Kentucky, which gathered little praise, but served as an apprenticeship for her well respected later novels, particularly the so-called Basque trilogy. Her interest in that part of the world was fueled by the fact that she had traveled widely in Europe and that her father's side of the family came from the region of the Pyrenees along the French-Spanish border and were of Basque origin. This, her last novel, grew out of a trip she made to Hungary before World War II. See William S. Ward: A Literary History of Kentucky. Seller Inventory # 06055
