โฆ Synopsis
Booth Tarkington, a leading American novelist of the Interwar period,
was famous for his novels The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams.
Although he was considered by many to be Americas greatest living
author in the 1910s and 1920s, being one of only three novelists to
win the Pulitzer Prize multiple times, his works are sadly neglected
today. This comprehensive eBook presents Tarkingtons collected works,
featuring many rare novels for the first time in digital publishing. As
well as numerous illustrations and informative introductions, this
edition offers readers the opportunity to rediscover this important
American novelist. (Version 1)
