About this Item

Author's Edition. Near Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Fully bound in green cloth. The spine is stamped in silver. 95pps. There is a crease in the front pastedown (a slight production flaw) and the binding is slightly shaken, though sound, with slim separations between a couple of signatures (more a cosmetic than a structural issue): otherwise clean, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has light wear at the extremities; no other flaws of note. The original price is intact. SIGNED and generically inscribed by the author 'with all good wishes' on the ffep. ".'Kentucky Is My Land' is Jesse Stuart's fervent reaffirmation of his passionate love for the Kentucky land in which he grew up, with its flowers and trees and weathers, and its infinite seasonal variety. Mr. Stuart returns to many of the scenes of his boyhood of which he wrote so eloquently in 'Man With A Bull-Tongued Plow', now writing of them with overtones of his later life and more mature point of view. While much of the work included in 'Kentucky Is My Land' is frankly autobiographical, a great deal of it is objective. 'Kentucky Is My Land' comprises a collection of poems which will bring joy to the hearts of all true lovers of poetry."
