The Moon by Night
Madeleine L'Engle · Farrar, Straus and Company · 1963
US Farrar, Straus and Company (New York) is the true first edition. The firm's name did not add 'Giroux' until 1964, so a genuine 1963 first correctly reads 'Farrar, Straus and Company' — a jacket or title page reading 'Farrar, Straus and Giroux' indicates a later state or reprint.
