Girl Campers (Being a series of letters written by Patricia Highsmith at age 12 on the occasion of her first stay away from home.) [The Talented Mr. Ripley; The Price of Salt; Strangers on a Train; Deep Water; The Blunde
Author: Highsmith, Patricia [Her First Published Work]
Publisher: Mount Morris, IL Woman's World Publishing 1935
First edition Near Fine copy (mailing address to cover margin, not affecting image, a little age toning and quite minor soiling to the cover, a few rather small edge tears, pages in excellent condition) of the magazine containing PATRICIA HIGHSMITH'S FIRST PUBLISHED WORK, written when she was only 12 and published when she was only 14 years old; a series of letters from the then nascent writer to her mother and stepfather, written by Highsmith while away at a girls camp. Providing hints of Highsmith's person and career, the letters, among other things, ask that they "bring the funny papers if you come", presaging her brief comic book work, mention her activities: "We are going swimming 'Diana" tonight..Diana means without any clothes on at all. Do you think it's all right to go in Diana?" (perhaps presaging her later sexual preferences and clearly hinting without expecting an answer -- as the letter speaks of that evening's activities and would not reach her parents until well after the adventure was over), and speak of another camper she wants her parents to meet, Janet Armstrong, whose father is a publisher, being an early career indication. A very nice copy of a scarce item from a noted author, THE FIRST PUBLISHED WORK OF PATRICIA HIGHSMITH. Wrappers Book condition: Near Fine
Price: US$615.00. Quantity available: 1.
