Description: Wilma DYKEMAN Return The Innocent Earth Signed 1st Edition 1973 HC Appalachia Interest Measures 9 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches Condition: Pre-owned. First edition 1973 signed and personalized book Return The Innocent Earth by Wilma Dykeman. The book is in really good shape with its dust jacket. There's a tiny bit of wear on the corners. Also a very small tear on the dust jacket on one corner. This might have been an ex library book as there's a card jacket sleeve on the inside. However, there's no evidence of ink or excessive wear. Book is signed by Dykeman and personalized. It reads, "For Faye L. Hicks My warmest wishes to a James R. Stokely Fellow of 1985" Wilma Dykeman. I've included some screenshots with information about the author. Dykeman (1920-2006) was a well-know fiction and non-fiction writer who's work featured Appalachia-centered themes. Her accolades are too numerous to name here, but she was active in education, writing and many other facets for which she was known. Dykeman was active and made her home in Asheville, North Carolina, and Newport, Tennessee. She became Tennessee's first female state historian. Each year, the Appalachian Writers Guild recognizes a writer of the best essay on Appalachian life, literature, religion, forklore, culture or values with the Wilma Dykeman Award for Essay. She was introduced to fellow writer James R. Stokely, whom she eventually married and wrote books with. The James R. Stokely fellowship was established after Stokely passed in 1977. This is the reference in the personalization on the book. Returns accepted within 30 days of goods in their original condition. Please contact for details.
