The White and Gold Lady

New York: George H. Doran Company. Very Good in Very Good dj. (c.1927). First Edition. Hardcover. [nice solid copy, minor shelfwear, a couple of pages ragged at fore-edge from having been carelessly cut; jacket shows mild edgewear, a bit of soiling/rubbing, a couple of tiny edge-tears, ragged pull-tear across across mid-spine (no text affected)]. "This is a story of Kentucky of the eighties, of an exalted society that worshipped beauty in women and blood in horses, whose lives were ordered and arranged by the rules of a chivalry now half-forgotten. Into the quiet lives of the blue-grass aristocracy there penetrates a drama of passion, of love, whose effect is devastating and profound. Yet through tragedy and happiness runs the courage of the old order with all the soft color of southern romance." .
