Description

Katherine Anne Porter

Pulitzer Prize–winning American writer (1890–1980) best known for such enduring stories as ‘The Jilting of Granny Weatherall’ and the novel Ship of Fools. Souvenir typescript, one page on a 6 x 8 cardstock sheet, from A Christmas Story, beginning: “I thought how nearly all of these tender medieval songs and legends about this Child were concerned with trees, wood, timbers, beams, crosspieces; and even the pagan north transformed its great druidic tree festooned with human entrails into a blithe festival tree hung with gifts for the Child, and some savage old man of the woods became a rollicking saint with a big belly.” Signed at the conclusion in black felt tip. In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
