A reasonably tidy second printing copy of Knowles' first and best-loved novel, a coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the Wold War II. NY: The Macmillan Company, 1960. Octavo, 8.25 x 5.5 in. 186pp. Light blue cloth boards, dark blue titles on spine and front panel; in dust jacket. Mild sun-fading to spine and perimeters of boards. Light shelfwear and a touch of fraying at spine ends and bottom tips. Toning to edges of textblock. In an unclipped ("$3.50") jacket with a few nicks at head of spine, moderate browning, particularly to spine and along flap hinges. A very good (+) copy in a very good jacket.
