Hardcover. NY, Simon & Schuster, 1st, 1940, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover in red cloth, white title label on spine. "This crazy, gorgeous family novel" written at the end of the Great Depression "is one of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century" (Jonathan Franzen, The New York Times). Today, it stands as a masterpiece of dysfunctional family life. In a country crippled by the Great Depression, Sam and Henny Pollit have too much--too much contempt for one another, too many children, too much strain under endless obligation. Flush with ego and chilling charisma, Sam torments and manipulates his children in an esoteric world of his own imagining. Henny looks on desperately, all too aware of the madness at the root of her husband's behavior. And Louie, the damaged, precocious adolescent girl at the center of their clashes, is the "ugly duckling" whose struggle will transfix contemporary readers. Named one of the best novels of the twentieth century by Newsweek, Stead's semi-autobiographical work reads like a Depression-era The Glass Castle. This is the scarce first printing dated 1940 on the title page with no other printings noted. Mild shelf wear, clean, no markings.

Martin and Laura Godwin, with the help of Brian Selznick's ingenious black-and-white illustrations, take the reader on another nonstop adventure from a doll's eye view!
