NY, Macmillan, 1960. The first American edition of this classic and influential coming-of-age novel. Filmed once theatrically (in 1972 with Parker Stevenson) and twice more for television. Fine in a fine, first issue dust jacket. Apparently the publisher and author felt that this first issue jacket made the title look too much like a children's book and it was quickly changed; the later jacket, all text, is much more common than the first issue. From the collection of Bruce Kahn. [#911058] SOLD
