FROM THE DUST JACKET: "In this negro classic Mr. Heyward builds up an atmosphere of horror by his skillful use of dramatic and forceful prose, It is not only a fine story; but it shows also Mr. Heyward's understanding of the primitive negro spirit as shadowed in the South of today." CONDITION: VG overall, cover shows light ware, particularly at the edges. Binding is sound and boards are firmly attached. Leaves have beautifully and evenly toned, virtually free from foxing. Large print is quite dark and easy to read. Illustrations are intriguing. Completely unmarked except for author's inscription. Dust jacked has toned with some chipping at the head edges, and a half inch open tear at the foot on the back, else quite handsome. DJ is NOT price clipped. A very nice copy.

Store description

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
