MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS. A Novel of Charleston

Garden City: Doubleday Doran, 1929. First edition. Hardcover. When Mamba appears on the Wentworth doorstep, this shrewd woman takes the first step in surmounting a social barrier as thorny as any in early twentieth-century Charleston. For the sake of her family, Mamba navigates a comic, calculated path to the privelged class of African-Americans employed by Charleston's aristocratic white families. A very good plus to near fine book in a very good only dust jacket with loss at spine foot and front panel. Item #14996
