New York/London: Harper & Brothers. Very Good. [1920] (c.1918). Later Printing (I-U). Hardcover. NOISBN . (no dust jacket) [moderate wear and light soiling to edge of covers, slight darkening to spine cloth, tiny light stain at top of front cover, one-time owner's ink signature on ffep]. Novel about the picaresque adventures of a young girl who, following the death of her vagabond father, goes through various travails (and a bad marriage) before rising to fame as a music-hall performer. Basis for the 1935 George Cukor film, which first teamed Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant; a flop in its day, the film has nonetheless achieved a kind of minor-classic status, as much for its titillating subtext (Kate spends most of the film disguised as a boy) as for its genuine (albeit limited) charms. [The I-U code dates this printing from September 1920.] .
