Near fine in the rare original dust jacket which is in very good condition. Like his two Jungle Books Kipling wrote this morality tale of life aboard a New England fishing boat while living near Brattleboro Vermont his wife's hometown. The book thus contains "something of his feelings about America--both his affection and his irritation" Carpenter & Prichard 296. "This is the only book of Kipling's which is set entirely in America. All the characters are American. Not only that but the heart of the book--its moral in a single sentence--is one of Kipling's main beliefs of this period expressed in terms essentially American or perhaps more particularly New England. He put it later in verse: 'And the Gods of the Copy-book Maxims said: 'If you don't work you will die!' It is a saga of hard physical work in conflict with natural forces. It is a book which could hardly have been written by anyone who did not admire Huckleberry Finn; it is a book whose claim to survival rests mainly on detail and it is all American detail" Mason 119.

Best-known for his novel The Catcher in the Rye American author J.D. Salinger published several short stories and five books throughout his lifetime. In a contributor's note Salinger gave to Harper's Magazine in 1946 he wrote: "I almost always write about very young people" a statement that has been referred to as his credo. Adolescents are featured or appear in all of Salinger's work from his first published short story "The Young Folks" 1940 to The Catcher in the Rye and his Glass family stories. In 1961 the critic Alfred Kazin explained that Salinger's choice of teenagers as a subject matter was one reason for his appeal to young readers but another was "a consciousness among youths that he speaks for them and virtually to them in a language that is peculiarly honest and their own with a vision of things that capture their most secret judgments of the world." For this reason Norman Mailer once remarked that Salinger was "the greatest mind ever to stay in prep school." Consolidated Book Publishers, Inc. hardcover books‎
