Steele, William O.

The No-Name Man of the Mountain [Original Manuscript]

New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc., 1964. First Edition. Manuscript. Original typescript for William O. Steele's 1964 children's story. 61 unbound, single-sided leaves with holograph corrections. Good, bumped at all four corners, multiple leaves with small chips and tears at the edges.

Steele passes along the manuscript to Rosamond. A truly unique item. Good. Item #7253
