SIGNED and Inscribed by Author. Very clean, tightly bound copy with no foxing and only a small amount of wear. We're delighted to present this, as Baldwin was a much beloved author of the 30's and 40's and a founder of the old Famous Writer's School of Westport, Connecticut, an early correspondance school for would-be writers. On the front endpaper she wrote, "To Doctor ......., This is my only serious book. I am out of the regular edition print. It was fun to write -- hope it won't bore you. With Cordial Regards, Faith Baldwin." Normally Baldwin wrote contemporary romance of the day, but here she turns her pen to the past with a historical novel set in 1861 about the American missionaries in China. 388 pages.
