About the author: Newton Booth Tarkington (July 29, 1869 – May 19, 1946) was an American novelist and dramatist best known for his Pulitzer Prize* winning novels The Magnificent Ambersons (*1919) and Alice Adams (*1922), both included- v13 & 16. He is one of only four novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner, John Updike, and Colson Whitehead. In the 1910s and 1920s he was considered the United States' greatest living author. Several of his stories were adapted to film.

During the first quarter of the 20th century, Tarkington, along with Meredith Nicholson, George Ade, and James Whitcomb Riley helped to create a Golden Age of literature in Indiana. (Wiki)

About the binder: Post William Matthews retirement, Henry Stikeman's repute as the best American binder rose, he exhibited "extraordinary skill . . . in design, inlaying, and tooling." (Maser Collection) As with this set, Stikeman's firm did high-end publisher's bindings as "bread and butter" work, and alternatively was commissioned to execute luxurious gilt-tooled bindings for collectors. less
