Author of the famous Civil War poem "John Brown's Body" for which he received a Pulitzer, as well as having later penned "The Devil and Daniel Webster", this compilation of Stephen Vincent Benet's work is signed by him in brilliant blue fountain pen (9/10). A hand numbered limited edition (115/201) printed at Country Life Press by Doubleday, Doran, and Company, Inc. in 1931. Significant toning to the cover and fraying along the binding. The inner pages display similar wear around their edges but have remained relatively clean. Overall condition Good.
