A signed first edition, second printing of Pearl S. Buck's uncommon novel about an impoverished English couple trying to save an old castle which has been in their family for generations. A nice copy in good shape, light wear from age, protected in a new mylar archival-grade jacket. Signed to the title page with a note (in different handwriting), from a previous owner. Pearl S. Buck, best known for "The Good Earth," became the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. See pictures for a closer look!
