The Grass Is Singing
Doris Lessing · Michael Joseph (London) · 1950
The true first is the UK Michael Joseph 1950 edition (Lessing's debut), scarce in jacket; the US Crowell edition is a later first-thus. Note that a 'second impression before publication' exists, so confirm first-impression status, not just the 1950 date.
