Antonietta

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1991.

Price: $350.00

Hardcover. First edition. Fine in fine, price-clipped dustwrapper. A novel that follows a Stradivarius violin through the hands of several owners over several centuries (similar to the 1998 film *The Red Violin*, though it is not credited as a story source). Inscribed to Peter Taylor and his wife, Eleanor Ross Taylor: "For Peter and Eleanor. We have missed you two – wish you'd come back to Key West. We've love the poems of yours we've seen, Eleanor. Barbara joins in sending love. John." A nice association.
