The Pearl -
John Steinbeck
1947 - Viking Press, New York - First Edition
‘In the town they tell the story of the great pearl - how it was found and how it was lost again. They tell of Kino, the fisherman, and of his wife, Juana, and of the baby, Coyotito. And because the story has been told so often, it has taken root in every man's mind. And, as with all retold tales that are in people's hearts, there are only good and bad things and black and white things and good and evil things and no in-between anywhere.’
Illustrated with drawings by José Clemente Orozco.
