STEINBECK, John

The Grapes of Wrath

First edition. Fine in fine dustwrapper with a couple of little flakes of rubbing but which is else exceptionally bright and fresh. Housed in a custom cloth slipcase. A lovely 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 superior copy.
