Delphi Collected Works of Booth Tarkington (Illustrated)

Booth Tarkington, a leading American novelist of the Interwar period, was famous for his novels 'The Magnificent Ambersons' and 'Alice Adams'. Although he was considered by many to be America's greatest living author in the 1910's and 1920's, being one of only three novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize multiple times, his works are sadly neglected today.
