FIRST EDITION. PRESENTATION COPY, EXTENSIVELY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR WITH A THREE-PAGE INSCRIPTION: "For / Harry W. Zollars / Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings / A writer loses all rights to elucidate a book, once he has corrected the last proofs. Anything unexplained at that point must go forever unsaid. Yet he may still offer a private opinion, as on the work of any other. In my opinion, this book about Jody, is in reality Penny's book. Penny was once Jody, and Jody will become something of a Penny, and in Penny I have offered as much of my own philosophy of life as I am every likely to offer in any single character. / M. K. R. / September 1939."
