Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Tan boards quarterbound in black cloth. Both the spine and the front board are stamped in gilt. Octavo. Black topstain. 307pps. Stated first printing. There is very mild rubbing to the tips and the board-edges, otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. The text is immaculate; no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has a 1/2" closed tear at the top of the rear panel and a small crease in a corner of the front flap; the original price is intact. An excellent, collector's quality copy of this memoir.

"...Like Isaac Bashevis Singer's fiction, this poignant memoir of his childhood in the household and rabbinical court of his father is full of spirits and demons, washerwomen and rabbis, beggars and rich men. This rememberance of Singer's pious father, his rational yet adoring mother, and the never-ending parade of humanity that marched through their home is a portrait of a magnificent writer's childhood self and of the world, now gone, that formed him..."
