Hardback in dustwrapper. 21.5 x 14.5cm, xxvi + 126pp About the BookFirst published in 1949, this is a a collection of essays and letters. Willa Cather writes about her own fiction and that of Sarah Orne Jewett, Stephen Crane, and Katherine Mansfield, among others. She concludes, "Art is a concrete and personal and rather childish thing after all - no matter what people do to graft it into science and make it sociological and psychological; it is no good at all unless it is let alone to be itself - a game of make-believe, of re-production, very exciting and delightful to people who have an ear for it or an eye for it." ConditionThe book itself is in very good condition, there's a little age-toning to the pages but they remain clean and the binding is secure. The dustwrapper has a small hole to the spine and some light loss to the corners and spine ends but it has not been price-clipped and is now within a protective sleeve.
