About This Item
New York: The Macmillan Company. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 1925. First Edition. Hardcover. [a clean, attractive copy, with no significant shelfwear, just a touch of soiling to edges of text block; the jacket is lightly edgeworn, with very tiny bits of paper loss at the spine ends]. (pen & ink drawings, illustrated endpapers) "Amory is an imaginative, music-loving boy, and his grandfather a scholar-tramp who has travelled the world over, collecting folk-songs, and who longs to get the boy out of his sordid city surroundings into the open. The struggle over Amory's future between Grandfather Wade and the opposing elements in the family is so sympathetically presented and the characters so sharply outlined as to make a very appealing story." Poole was a muckraking journalist (he helped Upton Sinclair gather background material for "The Jungle" in addition to his own reporting) whose socialist beliefs were often reflected in his fiction. He also holds the distinction of having been the first winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, for his 1917 novel "His Family." (His friend Sinclair didn't get his Pulitzer until 1943.) .
