A Near Fine copy with a slight bump to the spine ends in a Near Fine dust jacket with some light wrinkling to head and heel of the spine.

What these letters show is the flow of Steinbeck's mind and the nature of his creative process. Heinemann, unknown

1950ref. 29609New York:: Grosset & Dunlap 1950s. Reprint Edition. A Very Good copy with previous owner inscription in brown cloth binding in a Very Good illustrated dust jacket with wear to the spine ends. Adopting the structure and themes of the Arthurian legend John Steinbeck created a "Camelot" on a shabby hillside above the town of Monterey California and peopled it with a colorful band of knights. At the center of the tale is Danny whose house like Arthur's castle becomes a gathering place for men looking for adventure camaraderie and a sense of belonging—men who fiercely resist the corrupting tide of honest toil and civil rectitude. Steinbeck chronicles their deeds—their multiple lovers their wonderful brawls their Rabelaisian wine-drinking—he spins a tale as compelling and ultimately as touched by sorrow as the famous legends of the Round Table which inspired him.
