Benjamin Heydrick, Editor
New York, 1920
 
A collection of short stories from O. Henry, Edna Ferber, James M. Hopper, George Madden Martin, Myra Kelly, H. C. Bunner, William Allen White, Brand Whitlock, Fannie Hurst, Stewart Edward White, Dorothy Canfield, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Katherine Mayo, and James F. Dwyer. The assortment was compiled by turn of the century English Professor Benjamin Heydrick. It's a really fascinating look at early 20th century American short story telling - and he's chosen quite a cross section of writers.
 
Board joints and edges moderately rubbed, minor wear on spine ends and corners, spine lightly sun-faded. Text block slightly shaken, top edge faintly foxed, front endpapers a bit soiled with signs of pencil erasure, a few page corners creased. Overall Very Good.
 
The jacket has some general rubbing otherwise Near Fine, brilliant and scarce - I haven't been able to locate any other examples in the auction records or elsewhere for sale. A truly interesting post-WW1 piece of Americana.
