STEINBECK, John

The Grapes of Wrath

First edition. A tiny bit of foxing to the topedge, easily fine in fine dustwrapper. A crisp, fresh, bright and magnificent copy of this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic of an Oklahoma family's migration to California during the Depression. Basis for the John Ford film featuring Henry Fonda as Tom Joad. Ford and Supporting Actress Jane Darwell won Academy Awards; Fonda was nominated but lost to Robert Donat in Goodbye, Mr. Chips! Steinbeck's masterpiece and literature's lasting testament to the Great Depression, it was singled-out in his citation for the Nobel Prize decades later. A wonderful copy, about as nice as any we've seen.
