[1950]. Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Bound in full brown cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt. Octavo. 262pps. There is light rubbing to the spine-ends, otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has a slightly sunned spine and shallow chipping at the extremities; the original price is intact. An excellent, collector's-quality copy. ".In 'Clearing in the Sky,' Jesse Stuart -- poet, short-story writer, and novelist of the Kentucky hills -- presents twenty-one colorful, entertaining sagas of the backwoods country. Greenup County, the locale of the stories, is a sort of place where a good hound dog is worth more than an automobile and barn dances draw bigger crowds than movies. The mud roads of the section are impassable in spring, and an occasional wildcat still roams the woods. If a man is a shrewd horse trader and his tobacco leaves are large and golden, he is a hill-country success. Home in Greenup County is a one or two-room log shack, usually smaller than the barn. When a feud springs up in the district, the opposing families bury their dead at night so as to deprive the enemy clan of any satisfaction. The vigor of Jesse Stuart's prose, the authoritative ring of his dialogue, and the natural humor which lights up his philosophy make 'Clearing in the Sky' delightful and heart-warming reading."
