Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. 1st Edition (second issue). (blue cloth with gold-and-black stamped illustration; no dust jacket) [moderate shelfwear to bottom edges and upper corners, gilt lettering and illustration on front cover still bright and attractive]. (pen and ink drawings) The author, a New York newspaperman at the time, was already well known for his "Chimmie Fadden" stories, about an Irish Bowery hooligan; these were dramatized for the stage, and the character was later featured in a number of silent film comedies. "Daughter," his first full-length novel, was centered around a young Italian immigrant girl who finds success as a dancer after having worked various menial jobs (fruit seller, sweatshop worker); a stage dramatization was announced as being in the works not long after its publication, but it's unclear whether it was actually staged or not. (This is the second issue, featuring the addition of a dedication and table of contents. Wright, American Fiction 1876-1900, 5537.) ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
