Blurb: “Among the foremost contemporary American writers, John Steinbeck is without doubt the most consistently widely read. Never content to rest on the oars of his success, he has repeatedly tested his creativity on different forms, ranging from the picaresque (Tortilla Flat) through the sociological (Grapes of Wrath) to the philosophical (East of Eden) and the hilariously satiric (The Short Reign of Pippin IV). This collection presents a complete cross section of Steinbeck's best (including such now established classics as Of Mice and Men and The Red Pony) and again underscores his versatility. It also underscores the integrity of purpose that Steinbeck brings to each of his works, whatever the form, and the omnipresent compassion toward his fellow man that has endeared him to an extraordinary range of readers.
...an admirable job in every respect ...•
Here is a picture of Steinbeck's development as an artist and a key to the mood and import of all his works." -Philadelphia Inquirer”
