Hell-Bent Fer Heaven

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1924.

Price: $600.00

Hardcover. First edition. Fine in an about fine dustwrapper with some very modest soiling. The jacket is the earliest state without the Pulitzer Prize sticker affixed to the front panel. Basis for the 1926 J. Stuart Blackton-directed film *Hell-Bent for Heaven* featuring Patsy Ruth Miller and John Harron. Very scarce Pulitzer Prize-winning play, set amongst the mountain people of the Carolinas. Seldom found in jacket, and rarely without the sticker announcing the Pulitzer Prize. Hughes's first solely authored play.
