A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN
New York: Harper and Brothers, 1943. First edition. A notoriously scarce title in dust jacket, let alone one in this condition. The story involves an Irish-American family in Brooklyn during the first two decades of the twentieth century, split into five "books," each covering a different period in the characters' lives.
Basis for the 1945 film directed by Elia Kazan and starring James Dunn, Dorothy McGuire, and Joan Blondell.
Easily Near Fine in a stunning, about Fine dust jacket. Extremely faint vertical fold crease along the rear flap fold. Of the few jacketed examples we have seen over time, far and away the best. Near Fine in Fine dust jacket. (Item #576)
