About This Item
New York: Harcourt, Brace, 1928. Later printing. Hardcover. Good/fair. Octavo; viii, 390 pages, variant tawny cloth; price-clipped dj was reinforced on the inside with old cellophane tape, head of spine chipped, torn
This is Untermeyer's first novel, which raises many bold questions about Moses - and attempts to answer them. Another mystery is why the dust jacket states "With a frontispiece by ROCKWELL KENT." But, the last page reads, " The title page decoration and jacket drawn by Rockwell Kent". In fact, the Kent decoration on the title-page reappears on the top cover of the book, and the jacket panel shows the Egyptian princess rescuing a baby from the reeds.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
