HOPE TRUEBLOOD by Patience Worth [Near Fine First Edition Copy]
An exceptionally bright and sharp copy of the second Patience Worth novel. A curious figure and early 20th Century publishing phenomenon, Worth was purportedly a spirit who channeled her writings one-letter-at-a-time through the Ouija board of a St. Louis woman named Pearl Curran. A title uncommon to find in this first state and scarce in like condition.
