Comments: Tight copy. D-j pc’d with some wear on front. Top of front board and top edge soiled. Some spots on front board. Bottom edge soiled. This English issue was produced in America for Marion Boyars, so it is close to identical with the American issue. 622pp. The British hardback edition had a tiny print run, largely absorbed into the public library system. This copy is one of the few to escape that fate. It is a fabulous summing up of this wonderful writer’s complete short story collection.
Synopsis: With a preface written by the author especially for this edition, this is the complete collection of stories by Eudora Welty. Including the earlier collections A Curtain of Green, The Wide Net, The Golden Apples, and The Bride of the Innisfallen, as well as previously uncollected ones, these forty-one stories demonstrate Eudora Welty’s talent for writing from diverse points-of-view with “vision that is sweet by nature, always humanizing, uncannily objective, but never angry” (Washington Post).
