1938042171New York: Harcourt Brace and Co. 1938. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. Inscribed by Authors. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Red cloth spine panel lettered and front cover airplane device in gilt. Text block edges a bit dulled by age otherwise essentially as issued though lacking dust jacket. Stated first edition. xii275 pp. illus. w/ maps. Signed on half-title "For The Morgans / Anne" and while the signature bears a passing resemblance to that of Anne Morrow Lindbergh who frequently inscribed copies to personal friends simply as "Anne" we have doubts that this example is genuine. More often than not Listen! the Wind was inscribed by both Lindberghs given that Charles executed the map illustrations and this example is written on a slant rather than the author's typical horizontal inscription. However the inscription is intriguing insofar as it is "For the Morgans" which would most likely be Anne's sister Constance and her husband Aubrey Morgan who had married in 1937 the year before publication three years after the death of Aubrey's first wife Elisabeth who was also Anne and Con's older sister.
