Hunter's Horn Arnow, Harriette
New York The Macmillan Company 1949 First Edition Cloth Good Good
Green boards with gold lettering on spine. Binding is tight. Pages are clean. Boards somewhat soiled and faded. Some foxing to end pages. DJ shows some edgewear with chipping. "The world of Hunter's Horn is situated in the hills of Kentucky, whre the scrub pine and sumac are taking over the worn-out fields, and the people - no matter how ragged and hungry at times - live with a zest and a dramatic sense of bothy joy and sorrow unknown in more sophisticated places. Over a brush fire in the dead of night, we listen with Nunn Ballew to the baying of the hounds as they follow the great red fox, ing Devil. And we understand why Nunn must keep chasing the perverse creature, and must buy pedigreed puppies, though his fences fall to ruin, his farm stock dwindles, and his family goes in want. We go to school with the 'youngens' in a one-room cabin. We share with young Suse her ardent longing to go to high school, her first kiss, her dreams of glamorous, far-away Detroit. We laugh with the neighbors over Nunn's first and only attempt at moonshining, and share his pride in the beautiful pupies who are to be King Devil's nemesis. We weep for Lureenie, whose tragedy is as simple and real as that of the deserted girl in an old Kentucky ballad. We encounter the sharp-tongued old midwife, Sue Annie - and dozens of others, all described with rich earthy humor and affections." 0808N0100H4 Historical Fiction 011085
