What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

The first and only edition of this work.

'Orchard and Vineyard' is an early example of Sackville-West's works, a poetry collection celebrating the beauty of gardening, a topic close to Vita's heart.

Written by the noted Bloomsbury author Vita Sackville-West, well known today for her friendship and relationship with fellow author, Virginia Woolf. Sackville-West provided the inspiration for Woolf's beloved novel 'Orlando'. Sackville-West was also a noted garden designer at her house Sissinghurst, the garden of which is still celebrated today. 

Two pages of publisher's adverts to the rear.

Condition

In the original publisher's quarter cloth binding with paper to the boards. Externally, smart, with a few faint marks and a little discolouration to the boards and spine. A little loss to the spine and spine label. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with just a couple of odd spots.
