1931ref. 2928London: Methuen & Co. 1931. First British edition of the author's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and masterpiece. Octavo original light brown cloth. Signed by Pearl Buck on the title page. Near fine in the rare dust jacket which shows light wear to the extremities with minute expert restoration. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Rare signed. Over eighty years have passed since The Good Earth won the Pulitzer Prize it has retained its popularity and become one of the great modern classics. "I can only write what I know and I know nothing but China having always lived there" wrote Pearl Buck. In The Good Earth she presents a graphic view of a China when the last emperor reigned and the vast political and social upheavals of the twentieth century were but distant rumblings for the ordinary people. This moving classic story of the honest farmer Wang Lung and his selfless wife O-lan is must reading for those who want to fully appreciate the sweeping changes that have occurred in the lives of the Chinese people during this century.

The glassine Dustjacket came with itWraps as stated by Ahearn & Blanck. Unmarked unread clean square. Check the photos. The rear spine cloth may seem slightly looseappearance that is it that I can see but listed as Near Fine ADDED to this collection is the remaining books of the Trilogythe Sons and A House Divided both are Great Copies themselves-search my books for the photos of them also and the 4th book of the SagaThe Mother. I have been collecting Mrs Buck's books for over 40 years and they are hard to keep in stock. The TLS came from a 5th grade school teacher back in the 90's just waiting for the right book to come along. I sold off 4 of the cards but I did keep 1 mentioned in the letter. I know there are several listed for big bucks but do they mention what state of First Edition NO! I show in photos and have a few more if you would like to see. JOHN DAY PUBLISHING COMPANY hardcover
