WYETH, N[ATHANIEL] C[ONVERS]. 1882-1945.
RAWLINGS, MARJORIE KINNAN. 1896-1953. The Yearling. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1939.
8vo. Original gilt decorated aqua cloth within publisher's aqua chemise and papered slipcase, which is rubbed with hinges cracked but intact.
SIGNED LIMITED EDITION OF THE 1939 PULITZER PRIZE WINNING NOVEL, of which only 750 copies were for sale (520 bound in aqua while the additional 250 copies in a darker blue were not issued until the early 1950s). With the line missing between lines 5 and 6 on p 196. Rawlings discovered the error while the edition was being assembled; and a new corrected signature was inserted in subsequent copies. Edited by famed Scribner's editor Maxwell Perkins and originally published in March 1938, The Yearling became the #1 Bestseller for 23 weeks and was made into a highly successful 1946 MGM motion picture starring Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman. Wyeth made a pilgrimage to Cross Creek, FL to soak up atmosphere from Rawlings' home for his pictures. This special edition includes three illustrations not in the trade edition.
WITH: Nine other works, all first edition to contain Wyeth's illustrations, including Kidnapped, 1913; Robin Hood, 1917; The Courtship of Myles Standish, 1920; Westward Ho! 1920; Rip Van Winkle, [1921,] scarce in jacket, ex-library; The Pike County Ballads, [1912]; The Odyssey of Homer, 1929, publisher's box; The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, 1931; Men of Concord and some others, 1936.
