The Short Novels of John Steinbeck (Cannery Row / Moon is Down / Of Mice and Men / Pearl / Red Pony / Tortilla Flat)

Collected here for the first time in a deluxe paperback volume are six of John Steinbeck's most widely read and beloved novels—Tortilla Flat, The Red Pony, Of Mice and Men, The Moon Is Down, Cannery Row, and The Pearl. From Steinbeck's tale of commitment, loneliness, and hope in Of Mice and Men, to his tough yet charming portrait of people on the margins of society in Cannery Row, to The Pearl's examination of the fallacy of the American dream, Steinbeck created stories that were realistic, rugged, and imbued with energy and resilience.
