A Jesse Stuart Harvest is a
gathering of eighteen short stories into
Dell’s paper-back Laurel Leaf Library, which was intended for broad public
consumption, especially for those readers
who might not have been exposed to
Stuart’s rich and powerful prose. Priced
at 50 cents, the book was easily with
the range of almost all readers. Stuart
wrote a twenty-seven page introduction
for the book, in which he described his
passion for writing, and of his love of
the land and people that he describes in
his stories. The rear cover
quotes J. Donald Adams of the New
York Times,
“Jess Stuart is a local colorist of the
first rank—probably the best we
have
produced in the United States.”
