MUNRO, Alice (Hugh Garner, fwd)

Dance of the Happy Shades. Stories

Toronto: Ryerson Press, 1968. First Edition. First printing. Octavo; green cloth boards; dustjacket; 224pp. Somewhat aggressive erasure to upper fore-corner of front endpaper, else a fine, straight copy in the original, first-issue jacket (sans prize sticker), a shade sunned on lower half of spine panel (as usual) and with faint wear at spine-folds; still a crisp, well-preserved example, on the better end of VG. The Nobel-Prizewinning author's first book, one of the most auspicious literary debuts of the second half of the 20th century.

Price: $500.00
