1943 HC The Little Locksmith Katherine Butler Hathaway. A memoir about the effects of spinal tuberculosis on her childhood and adult life. "As we read each perfectly-fashioned page, a truly civilized human being grows to maturity. The loneliness of childhood, first assuaged by the creation of a delicate and graceful world of imagination, becomes the spur to a greater understanding of self, of friend, of the nature of the human spirit. It is an auto-biographical narrative chronicling great events: the visit of the comforting father to the bedroom of the child, the girl's discovery of the beauty of a summer's night, the woman's excitement when she finally purchases her first house--at Castine on Penobscot Bay in Maine." 📦$8 shipped in the US.
