Name inscribed FLEP, slight toning, else contents appear as unread & unblemished in dark blue cloth covered boards, red gilt decorated, displaying moderate surface/edge/wear, as shown. For the age, a very nice copy.

Second book to appear under Lewis's name and the first American to win the Nobel Prize. The frontispiece by Norman Rockwell is one of his first illustrations in a book at approximately 21 years of age. Lewis' extremely elusive third book and only second novel under his own name. The "Trail of the Hawk" demonstrates insight into Lewis's development as a writer, a craft he would later demonstrate his mastery of in such works as "Babbitt", "Main Street", and "Elmer Gantry".

"The Trail of the Hawk: A Comedy of the Seriousness of Life." The story revolves around the life of Carl Ericson and follows him through his early life to maturity. This humorous and masterfully-written novel will appeal to those with a penchant for the comic, and it is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Sinclair's work. Harry Sinclair Lewis (1885 - 1951) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright. He became the first American author to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author."
