Paperback. Condición: Good. A vivid and charming portrait of a large southern family, the Fairchilds, who live on a plantation in the Mississippi delta. Welty gathers the clan across crowded porches and noisy dining tables, following nine-year-old Laura into a kin group defined by its men and managed by its women. The narrative records the restless momentum of the cousins as seventeen-year-old Dabney defies family expectation to marry the plantation overseer, Troy Flavin. The plantation house at Shellmound surrounds the children with deaf great-aunts, uncleared card tables, and heirloom portraits, tracing their daily commotion along James's Bayou. The story, set in 1923, is exquisitely woven from the ordinary events of family life, centered around the visit of a young relative, Laura McRaven, and the family's preparations for her cousin Dabney's wedding. Multiple POV: Welty shifts perspective across the sprawling household, capturing clannish Fairchild pride through the watchful eyes of young Laura, the weary insight of Aunt Ellen, and the fierce independence of Robbie Reid. Historical Drama: A family fishing expedition to Drowning Lake nearly turns fatal on the Dry Creek trestle when Uncle George refuses to abandon young Maureen before the oncoming Yellow Dog train. Coming of Age: Nine-year-old Laura McRaven seeks belonging among her self-absorbed cousins, quietly hoarding secret treasures like her uncle's pipe while discovering that even the tightest kin cannot shield its members from grief. Also by This Author: The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty, The Ponder Heart and The Robber Bridegroom.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Welty is on home ground in the state of Mississippi in this collection of seven stories. She portrays the MacLains, the Starks, the Moodys, and other families of the fictitious town of Morgana. "I doubt that a better book about 'the South'-one that more completely gets the feel of the particular texture of Southern life and its special tone and pattern-has ever been written" (New Yorker).…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. "A wonderful tragicomedy" of a Mississippi family, a vast inheritance, and an impulsive heir, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Delta Wedding (The New York Times). Daniel Ponder is the amiable heir to the wealthiest family in Clay County, Mississippi. To friends and strangers, he's also the most generous, having given away heirlooms, a watch, and so far, at least one family business. His niece, Edna Earle, has a solution to save the Ponder fortune from Daniel's mortifying philanthropy: As much as she loves Daniel, she's decided to have him institutionalized. Foolproof as the plan may seem, it comes with a kink -- one that sets in motion a runaway scheme of mistaken identity, a hapless local widow, a reckless wedding, a dim-witted teenage bride, and a twist of dumb luck that lands this once-respectable Southern family in court to brave an embarrassing trial for murder. It's become the talk of Clay County. And the loose-tongued Edna Earle will tell you all about it. "The most revered figure in contemporary American letters," said The New York Times of Eudora Welty, which also hailed The Ponder Heart -- a winner of the William Dean Howells Medal which was adapted into both a Broadway play and a PBS Masterpiece series -- as "Miss Welty at her comic, compassionate best.".…
