New York: Random House, 1951. Softcover. Very Good. Uncorrected proof consisting of long galley sheets printed rectos only, ribbon-tied at the top into blue covers with an applied title label. Affixed to the cover label is another label that reads: "An 'A' Book To Be Considered at the Next Meeting," apparently indicating the book was being considered as a main selection for the Book-of-the-Month Club. Modest wear, very good or better. Author's second novel. Rare in this format.

A lyrical novel by Truman Capote, which tells the story of an orphaned boy who finds warmth and love in an unlikely place.
