194124493New York: D. Appleton-Century Company. Very Good. 1941. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket good sound copy lightly shelfworn spine slightly turned spine cloth somewhat faded small red stain on front cover. Late novel her next-to-last published work I believe by this California author who I think of as the anti-John Steinbeck due to her previous book "Of Human Kindness" 1939 which was written as a rebuttal to "The Grapes of Wrath" and presented a sympathetic view of California's ranchers and fruit growers. Married to a California State Senator she herself was also active in Republican political circles. This book is a romantic/adventure novel about a spinsterish young librarian from New England who travels to Mexico with her frivolous aunt on a "study tour" sponsored by a business and professional women's organization and finds herself the object of amorous pursuit by a famous radio comedian an American doctor and a "dashing Mexican patriot." A contemporary review notes that "riots and kidnapping were some of the excitements that overtook the little librarian"; the same reviewer also complimented the author for her high opinion of the "natives and their mountain background." .

194057400NY: D. Appleton-Century Company 1940. First Edition first printing. Signed presentation from Mitchell on the title page: "For Maude Miller Curtiss with every good wish and much appreciation Ruth Comfort Mitchell1940. April 26th at San Jose." Ruth Comfort Mitchell Young wrote novels poems short stories and plays. She is perhaps best known for this novel "Of Human Kindness" which she wrote as a counterpoint to John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath." Both the Youngs were involved in Republican politics. Ruth served as Republican National Committeewoman from California for eight years and as national and state president of Pro-America an organization of Republican women founded in 1933. Meanwhile her husband Sanborn Young served as a California State Senator for thirteen years. Sanborn Young returned to life as a cattle rancher after retiring from the Senate and as such he and his wife were upset by Steinbeck's novel "The Grapes of Wrath" which appeared soon after in 1939. Ruth Comfort Mitchell determined to tell their side of the story the result being "Of Human Kindness" in which a gentleman farmer's family must overcome the tribulations brought by migrant workers union organizers liberal academics and Communists. This novel is very scarce with few if any copies appearing on the market today. While reading this particular copy I came across an old San Jose business A. Arzino. Fish Oysters and Poultry receipt laid-in probably contemporary with the inscription. While an interesting piece of memorabilia it was used as a bookmark and it has browned a portion of pages 270-271. I have saved the receipt now in a plastic sleeve. None-the-less a nice inscribed copy of a scarce title!. Small 8vo. green cloth stamped in gilt in dust jacket; 359 pages. Very Good covers nice & bright; contents clean & tight with browned pages noted; little edgewear & few tiny tears & little browning some fading spine with a tiny ink mark mid-spine d/j. Overall a pretty nice copy! D. Appleton-Century Company unknown books
193516468New York/London: D. Appleton-Century Company. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1935. First Edition. Hardcover. light shelfwear spotting on top edge gilt lettering on spine and front cover still bright; jacket lightly edgeworn a couple of unobtrusive tears small chip at top of spine. A tale of a woman aviator that it sez here "soars on the wings of adventure and romance." Its protagonist is a headstrong young woman who rebels against societal expectations and finds "the passionate guiding interest which was to dominate her life" when she's "tricked by a roadhouse party into an unwanted ride in a plane." As a result of this thrilling experience she "developed flying fever went to Europe where she learned the ins and outs of aviation and to the supreme horror of her clannish family as well as of the community became a pilot." This California author described in the jacket blurb as "an ardent flying fan" was active in Republican politics; she and her husband a former state senator had a cattle ranch outside Los Gatos and got really cranked up about "The Grapes of Wrath." Ruth in fact went on a bit of a crusade against the Steinbeck novel which she felt painted California's agricultural interests in an unfairly unflattering light; the culmination of her efforts was her own 1940 novel "Of Human Kindness" in which a fine upstanding farmer and his family fight the good fight against the perfidy and agitation of migrant workers union organizers liberal academics and Communists. .
