Our Town & The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder - Franklin Library Leather-Bound Edition (1983)

$32.00

This 1983 Franklin Library edition presents Thornton Wilder's iconic dramas, Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth, as part of the prestigious Pulitzer Prize Classics series. Illustrated by the acclaimed artist Alan E. Cober, this collectible volume is a perfect addition for vintage book lovers and theater enthusiasts. Our Town stands as a timeless exploration of small-town life and human connection, using a play-within-a-play structure to captivate audiences. In contrast, The Skin of Our Teeth exemplifies Wilder's daring creativity, combining surrealism, allegory, and absurdity to delve into humanity's endurance through adversity.

Crafted with a green leather binding, a hubbed spine, intricate gold detailing, marbled endpapers, a satin ribbon marker, and gilt edges, this hardcover was printed and bound in the USA. It is in very good vintage condition, showing light shelfwear, minor bumping on the cover and spine ends, and subtle scuffing on the gilded edges, while the interior pages are clean and free of marks. As a vintage item, it may display signs of wear and patina that may not be fully captured in photos. Color variations may also occur. Please feel free to reach out with any questions before purchasing.
