Description
CALDWELL, Erskine (1903-1987). God's Little Acre. New York: The Viking Press, 1933.

8vo. Original cloth stamped in orange and green, top edge stained orange (slightly leaned); in unrestored unclipped dust jacket (spine a bit sunned, few tiny nicks at foot and fore-corners).

FIRST EDITION of Caldwell's novel which was influenced, in part, by textile mill strikes in Gastonia, North Carolina, focusing on the plight of workers who are without Union protection. The novel's sexual themes lead the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice to ask a New York court to censor it, but the court ruled in Caldwell's favor. It was Caldwell's most popular novel, and was adapted to film in 1958, starting Robert Ryan.

[With:] CALDWELL. Tobacco Road. New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, [1940]. 8vo. With illustrations by David Fredenthal. Original buckram; dust jacket (spine slightly sunned). FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION.
