Joe David Brown – Addie Pray [Paper Moon] – First US Edition 1971
£95.00
A first edition, first printing published by Simon and Schuster in 1971. A very good book with a little tanning to the page edges – no inscriptions – neat ‘Property of US Navy’ to the top edge. In a very good unclipped wrapper with a closed tear to the front corner and a small ‘B’ to the spine
Set during the Great Depression the novel follows a clever young orphan, Addie, and her con-artist partner, “Long Boy” Moses Pray, as they travel through the American South running scams and surviving through wit and charm. Blending humour and heart, the story explores themes of family, deception, and resilience. The novel inspired the acclaimed 1973 film *Paper Moon*, starring Tatum and Ryan O’Neal.
