Presentation copy, uniquely and lengthily inscribed by the author across three pages; on the front free endpaper, the second free endpaper and its verso, "For Harry W. Zollars Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings - A writer loses all rights to elucidate a book, once he has corrected the last proofs. Anything unexplained at that point must go forever unsaid. Yet he may still offer a private opinion, as on the work of any other. In my opinion, this book about Jody, is in reality Penny's book. Penny was once Jody, and Jody will become something of a Penny, and in Penny I have offered as much of my own philosophy of life as I am every likely to offer in any single character. M.K.R. - September 1939." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. A unique example.
