About This Item
New York: Grove Press, 1979. Paperback. Good. 12mo - over 6?" - 7?" tall. First Black Cat Edition. Paperback in Good Condition. White illustrated wraps clean and unmarked, faint spine creases, pages moderately age-toned, clean, hinge cracked between pages 134-135. Henry James first novel. A tale of a proper Bostonian, Roger Lawrence, adopting a little girl under some highly melodramatic circumstances, and brings her up in the hope that she will marry him some day. He does his Pygmalion job only too well and she grows from a plain child to a woman of grace and beauty--and he has competition for her hand. This is also a story of class distinction. 238 pages. 4.25 x 7.25 inches. 1979, Grove/Black Cat Edition, New York.
