The Moon Is Down.
New York: The Viking Press 1942. First edition second issue of the Nobel Prize-winning author's classic work. Octavo original blue cloth. Near fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. A sharp example. In 1941 Steinbeck met "with officials of the Foreign Information Service a newly formed unit of what would soon become the Office of Strategic Services to discuss the future of American counterpropaganda efforts. The Moon Is Down begun later the same month had its origins in Steinbeck's long-standing desire to contribute to these efforts. Steinbeck submitted a first finished draft of The Moon Is Down originally written as a play called 'The New Order' and set in a mid-sized town in the United States to agency officials; they turned it down concerned that the prospect of an occupied America might lower morale. Early in December Steinbeck began revising the work shifting the setting to a generic northern Europe and recasting the play as a novel; he sent his revised draft to Pascal Covici his editor at Viking later in December. The Moon Is Down as a novel appeared in book form in March 1942. A stage version opened on Broadway on April 9 1942 and was published by Dramatists Play Service in New York later in the same year" Library of America. The Viking Press hardcover books

In adapting THE RED PONY into a screenplay Steinbeck chose a much happier ending and toned down some of the violence but it is still an unsentimental and important coming-of-age tale which continues to be admired today. The film's orchestral suite by Aaron Copeland was nominated by the American Film Institute as one of the 250 best film scores of all time.
