[SC: 50.73], [PU: The Viking Press, New York], JOHN STEINBECK FIRST EDITION,THE RED PONY EDITION, Signed limited first edition of Steinbeck's classic novel, one of 699 copies. Octavo, original cloth, pictorial endpapers, with illustrations by Wesley Dennis. Fine in the rare original slipcase. An exceptional example. The three interconnected stories in this volume (a fourth was added in the 1945 edition) won praise on publication as "pure gold… all three of these stories have more depth, intensity and variety than one could possibly anticipate" (New York Times Book Review). To biographer Jackson Benson, they "act as a moral fulcrum… These stories, with their child observer, examine the nature of life and of death and the relationship of the individual to the whole" (True Adventures, 288).<
