Item description from seller

"The Kenneth Roberts Reader" is a generous helping selected from his novels and essays. Filled with drama, action, humor, satire, and intimate conversation pieces, it is a anthology to delight the most cosmopolitan tastes. Included in these twenty-six excerpts are vivid scenes and episodes from those great novels "Northwest Passage", "Oliver Wiswell", and "Arundel". There are also amusing, biting essays from "Trending into Maine" and "For Authors Only", as well as a chapter on tonsillectomy warranted to bring tears to the eyes of anyone - doctor, nurse, or patient, who has ever been in a hospital anywhere. The study of divining rods - "Experiments with a Forked Twig" - is here published for the first time in book form. A collection of superlative reading, this is a book for all who enjoy good, absorbing writing, as well as for the many fans of Kenneth Roberts.  (From the dust-jacket blurb) TITLE : The Kenneth Roberts Reader AUTHOR : Kenneth Roberts (1885 - 1957) INTRODUCTION : Ben Ames Williams (1889 - 1953) IMPRINT : Doubleday PLACE : Garden City DATE : No date ( © 1945) EDITION : Issued through the Book Club STATUS : This edition Out of Print - OP PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade Hardcover issued through a book club; contains an Introduction; [xii]+ 429 pages plus 5 pages of promotional material for books by Roberts; approximately 5 1/2" x 8"; dark blue cloth with title , etc. and decorative embellishments in gilt on spine; top edge dyed dull yellow; decorated dust-jacket. photo-portrait of Roberts on back flap.
