First edition of Edith Wharton's New York Stories

No one has chronicled the life of New York City's upper class at the turn of the century in the Gilded Age than Edith Wharton, one of the American literary greats. Set in Greenwich Village's Washington Square Park, and later Fifth Avenue, her stories provide a picture of our great city at a particular point in time, yet remain relevant today.
