Paperback. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: No Jacket as Issued. First Edition. A NEAR FINE, bright, clean, tight, scholar/collector-worthy copy. ILLUSTRATED in black-and-white photography including a group portrait and individual oval portraits of the sixteen 1928-29 Sycamores.From the author's Introduction: "Warnings are in order. It all happened between September 1928 and June 1929; that was a very far-off time-sixty-seven or sixty-eight years ago, to be specific. Over such a period even a good memory forgets some things and embroiders others. Moreover, by nature being a tale-teller rather than a historian, I am tempted to write little stories about that year at Sycamores, to heighten dramas, draw out scenes, attribute feelings: to see events with logical causes and beginnings and denouements. To follow this natural bent would be much simpler and certainly more interesting for both writer and reader.Unhappily, I must try to stick to what I beleive to be the facts."
