Sobre este artículo
Richmond, [Va.]: Garrett & Massie, [1931]. vii, [2], 74 pages. Original blue-speckled cloth. 21 x 14 cm. Near fine in very good dust jacket. Offsetting to front endpapers from laid-in news clippings; tiny, light spot to title; else a nice copy. Jacket is worn at the ends of the spine panel and corners with minor loss and has neat internal reinforcements at the spine ends. FIRST EDITION. The first of the author's two short story collections. "The Honest Wine Merchant" was recognized by the O'Henry Memorial Award in 1930 and "The Lost Governess" was included in O'Brien's "Anthology of the Best Short Stories of 1930." James Branch Cabell provides a blurb on the dust jacket. Helena Lefroy Capterton (1878-1962), a native of Richmond, wrote on local history, contributed book reviews and articles to the Ricmond Times-Dispatch and other newspapers, and edited "The Social Record of Virginia" (1937). However, she is remembered mostly for her short fiction, collected here and in a second anthology, "Like a Flying Falcon" (1943). All of her stories were compiled in 1950 under the title "Legends of Virginia," where they received a laudatory introduction by Dorothy Parker. Haynes 2870.
