194412426Garden City NY: Doubleday Doran & Company Inc. Very Good in Good dj. 1944. Later Printing. Hardcover. price-clipped good solid copy nice and clean except for some dust-soiling to top edge; jacket worn along right and left edges of front panel light soiling very minor chipping at spine ends main flaw is a large surface-peel scar on the rear panel. Unaccountably scarce novel about a woman "whose selfless love for her husband gave her courage to meet her greatest crisis" -- namely being diagnosed with terminal cancer during the early months of pregnancy with her second child. She doesn't tell anybody -- not even her husband -- as she bravely goes about preparing her family for life without her. As a tale of mother love and self-sacrifice it ranks right up there with "Stella Dallas" and it was the basis for the 1950 movie of the same name a big-time weepie which ironically or not proved to be the final screen performance of Margaret Sullavan. It was also apparently the author's only book -- which leads to the somewhat morbid speculation that it might have been a veiled work of autobiography. And for Lewis Carroll aficionados there is a lovely evocation of "Alice in Wonderland" in the book's final scene. . Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc. hardcover books

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
