HTML:<b>The classic 1939 collection of 3 novellas by the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winning author and journalist, including the famous title story set during the influenza epidemic of 1918</b><br /> In <b><i>Noon Wine?</i></b> a family struggling to live on a farm in Texas is saved by the unexpected arrival of a mysterious stranger—only to have their world upended again by the arrival, nine years later, of a second stranger. The three parts of <b><i>Old Mortality</i></b> introduce the teenager Miranda and chronicle her journey of self-discovery, as she gradually realizes her family’s romantic nostalgia for her absent uncle and late aunt bears little resemblance to the truth.<br /> Miranda returns in the title story, <b><i>Pale Horse, Pale Rider</i></b>. She is now working as a drama critic for a newspaper in Denver, where she falls in love with a soldier, Adam, during the influenza epidemic of 1918.  When Miranda falls ill, Adam cares for her until she is moved to a hospital. Throughout her ordeal, on everyone’s mind is “the war, the <i>war</i>, the WAR to end WAR, war for Democracy, for humanity, a safe world forever and ever.”<br /> <b>Available in this exclusive Library of America e-book edition</b>.
