The King's Indian

Second printing before publication. Inscribed by Gardner on the fly leaf. This book is from the collection of Peter Dzwonkoski, former Director of Rare Books & Special Collections at the University of Rochester, and previously of Yale's Beinecke Library. Boston schoolmaster abandons his dreams of owning a farmhouse in rural Illinois only to be taken on a voyage across the seas and into self-discovery, faith, and love; an artist's rapturous enthusiasm inspires an aging university professor to approach life's chaotic moments as opportunities for creation. Each of these stories is wonderful in its own right, and provides valuable insight into the author's literary beliefs. Decorative endpapers. White cloth with embossed knights on cover. Remainder mark stamp on bottom edge. 1" closed tear to jacket repaired with tape; in protective mylar. Tight, square binding. 323 pages.
