A Handsome copy of a Rare signed copy. Often called The Novel of Quebec. Robust shipping. The Tin Flute (original French title Bonheur d'occasion, "secondhand happiness"), Gabrielle Roy's first novel, is a classic of Canadian fiction. Imbued with Roy's brand of compassion and understanding, this story focuses on a family in the Saint-Henri slums of Montreal, its struggles to overcome poverty and ignorance, and its search for love. The Tin Flute won both the Governor General's Award and the Prix Femina of France. The novel was made into a critically acclaimed motion picture in 1983. The novel caused many Quebecers to take a hard look at themselves and is regarded as the novel that helped lay the foundation for Quebec's Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. The original French version won Roy the prestigious Prix Femina in 1947. Published in English as The Tin Flute (1947), the book won the 1947 Governor General's Award for fiction as well as the Royal Society of Canada's Lorne Pierce Medal. Distributed in the United States, where it sold more than three-quarters of a million copies, the Literary Guild of America made The Tin Flute a feature book of the month in 1947. The book garnered so much attention that Roy returned to Manitoba to escape the publicity (description quoted from Wikipedia).

[Signed] [First Edition] [ROYCROFT] A Lodging for the Night: Being a tale concerning one of life's lesser hardships-commonly called trouble STEVENSON, 1035.18 CAD Octavo, 44pp., illustrated. A fine, fresh, lovely copy in the publisher's ¾ light brown morocco and marbled boards, with marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, silk ribbon, gilt spine, and raised bands. In a contemporary plain straight-grained yellow cloth dust jacket and green cloth slipcase. It's unclear whether these were executed by Roycroft or were done slightly later by someone else. But in any event, they have very nicely preserved the book. This is number 16 of 100 limited copies printed on Japan Vellum and "illumined" [that-is, hand-illuminated] by one of the workers at the Roycroft Shop. In this case, the artist was Elsie Whitney, who has signed her name on the limitation page, where of course Elbert Hubbard signed his name, as well. A positively charming Roycroft volume, much more refined than their more pedestrian publications. An uncommon book, genuinely scarce in this condition.
