Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a touchstone of American theater. After reading this play, Albert Einstein wrote a letter to Wilder comparing OUR TOWN to Homer's ODYSSEY and Shakespeare's HAMLET, stating: "That an American of the present day can create with such delicacy and detachment touches the soul like a miracle." A tight, crisp copy in a beautiful dustwrapper with minor wear to the spine tips and a superficial scratch and tiny closed tear on the rear panel. The cloth is mildly sunned at the spine and to the very top edges of both covers with no effect on either the front cover or spine blue paper label.

First British Edition, preceding the American edition by a few days, of this winner of Wilder's first of three Pulitzer Prizes. INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the the front endpaper: "For Mrs. Isaacs/with the affection/of one of her/boys/Thornton/Lawrenceville/November/1927." The recipient appears to be Edith Isaacs, editor of THEATRE ARTS magazine, whom he befriended in the early 1920s while teaching at the Lawrenceville School in New Jersey. Isaacs offered much encouragement to Wilder, including recommending that he apply for a Guggenheim Fellowship in order to finish THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY, for which he was declined. Briefest of wear to the spine tips of the book. Dustwrapper with a long closed tear along the front flap joint, chips at the spine tips but not affecting the lettering, and general edgwear with the spine darkened.

Title page printed in green and black. Illustrated by Amy Drevenstedt. Winner of Wilder's first of three Pulitzer Prizes, this copy is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author "To Miss Margaret Dunbar/with all the/regard of an/old friend and/co-worker/Thornton" and dated "Berkely/Jan 1930." With two AUTOGRAPH LETTERS SIGNED by the author laid in. The first, two pages of @400 words dated 1969 to Margaret Dunbar, was written on board ship to the Canary Islands, in part: "The famous birds ... don't sing until they've been put in a cage with a singing master - that is another bird who was similarly taught. A large part of education is EXAMPLE, as I know well - being much in debt to Miss Margaret Dunbar.... I'm well and cheerful, but every year I get more and more unsocial, - a semi-hermit.... I have friends in Berkeley, but you're the only friend there since the days before we moved East." The other letter, two pages of @170 words dated 1972, appears to be addressed to Dunbar's mother expressing sympathy for Miss Dunbar's death: "I remember vividly her stimulating influence in the school library in Berkeley and her sense of fun -- ill disguised under her strictness.... The mark that excellent teachers leave on their pupils generally appears to disappear into thin air, but of course it doesn't -- and it gave me pleasure to testify for half a century that she was loved and appreciated." Inscription to Dunbar from friend dated 1927 on the first blank; dustwrapper with minor wear.
