Burning Bright: A Play in Story Form

STEINBECK, John.

Burning Bright: A Play in Story Form.

FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING. New York: The Viking Press, 1950.

8vo. 159, [1] pp. Original gray cloth lettered in red, with publisher's orange top stain, in the original unclipped first-issue dust jacket in yellow, gray, and orange, priced $2.50 on the front flap. Dedicated to Elaine — Elaine Anderson Scott, whom Steinbeck married weeks after the play closed. In its original first-issue jacket, with characteristic fade across the bottom of the front panel and along the spine, the orange softened toward cream; light chipping at the spine head and top edge.

Four characters move through three settings — a circus, a farm, and a ship — replaying a single domestic story: a husband's longing for a child and his wife's secret to give him one.
