First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 454 pages. The author's third novel. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Bobbie Ann Mason's "Feather Crowns". A triumph. "In her longest, most ambitious work, Bobbie Ann Mason chronicles the spiritual and emotional journey taken by Christie Wheeler, a Kentucky farmer's wife who gives birth to quintuplets in the spring of 1900. The evocative physical detail, tart dialogue, wry humor and striking ability to capture the rich complexity of working people's lives that distinguished Mason's earlier books are linked to a more overtly philosophical quest for meaning that marks this novel as an exciting extension of the writer's already considerable talents. The novel is a meditation on modern celebrity culture: Hordes of people take the train to gawk at the infants, and in one truly shocking moment, a man enters through a window and disturbs the nursing Christie" (Publisher's Weekly and our comments). As long as the novel is, it goes down smoothly in one or several readings. An absolute "must-have" title for Bobbie Ann Mason collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Bobbie Ann Mason. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BOBBIE ANN MASON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0060167807.
