Description: CandyBy Lillie McMakin AlexanderPublished: Dodd Mead & Company, New York, 1934310 pp. Hardcover in original binding and dust jacket. FIRST EDITION. A nice copy of this SCARCE work. Not Ex-Lib. Billed as "a vivid and moving portrait of negro life today on a plantation along the Savannah River in South Carolina" where the arrival of a visitor from Harlem disrupts the "happy and carefree lives of the colorful and varied personalities with which the old place teems." L.M. Alexander won Dodd Mead's $10,000 Prize for this first novel, and then never published another word. Red and white polka dot cloth with titles printed in black Withthe bookplate of Normena MacKinnon, a notable resident of Topsham, MA, who at the time of this book's publication was a student at Bowdoin College (Maine). Some old evidence of the jacket once having become adhered in sports by moisture to the cloth, with a one-inch tear and related creasing to the top front panel; otherwie a bright and clean, very good copy!I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
