The Pastures of Heaven
by John Steinbeck
London: Quality Press Ltd.
A thoughtful and quietly powerful early work by John Steinbeck, The Pastures of Heaven presents a series of interconnected stories set in a pastoral Californian valley — a deceptively tranquil landscape that reveals the fragile hopes, failures, and inner lives of its inhabitants.
First published in Great Britain in 1933, this copy is a wartime reprint, produced under the British Book Production War Economy Standard, a detail that places it squarely within the material history of the Second World War. Such editions, while later printings, carry their own historical resonance and are increasingly appreciated by collectors of twentieth-century literature.
