Oliver La Farge - Laughing Boy - 1st 1st - Pulitzer Prize / Navajo Love Story

Description: La Farge, Oliver - Laughing Boy - Houghton Mifflin: Boston, 1929 - First Edition / First Printing - Matching dates present on the title and copyright pages as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition. Why should he worry himself about this woman? And why should he worry about anything else as long as he had this woman? The book has soiling, tanning to the spine, scattered stains, shelf wear with rubbing, a name on the front paste down and the rear end page has been removed. The boards remain reasonably straight, binding is square and still sturdy, and aside from light soiling the text block is otherwise clean internally. The second issue dust jacket has chipping, soiling, thoughtful tape mends to the verso on most joints, and general wear. A flawed but serviceable example of this uncommon work which was an early Pulitzer Prize winner. The story of a pair of Navajo who fall in love and run away together. Basis for the 1934 film adaptation of the same title which starred Lupe Velez as Slim Girl and Ramon Novarro as Laughing Boy. All books are offered with a full 30 day postage paid return policy.
