About this book

Donald Corley is the author and illustrator of the book "The Fifth Son of the Shoemaker." Lin Carter claims that although it is frequently referred to as a novel, it is actually “a volume of short stories under the guise of a novel.” Robert M. McBride released the book for the first time in hardback in New York in September 1930.

The narrative centers on a Russian family that emigrated to New York from Moscow and is a hereditary shoemaker family. It chronicles their ascent from poverty to affluence, starting with their modest origins in an East Side cellar and continuing with their global travels.
