(8vo) original beige pictorial cloth, color pictorial jacket with wrap-around artwork by Elmer Hader. First Edition.
First edition of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic. Steinbeck's greatest novel, an epic story of migratory workers during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Acclaimed the twentieth-century Uncle Tom's Cabin, it was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1940. John Ford directed the well-received film starring Henry Fonda as Tom Joad. Perhaps the most influential, and best remembered book to come out of the Great Depression.
