What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce

The first UK edition of this work by Vita Sackville-West. The Heir is a love story between a man and the manor house he inherited and once scorned. 

Vita Sackville-West was a prolific and successful writer from the early 1900s and a gardener. She was twice awarded the Hawthornden Prize for Imaginative Literature: in 1927 for her pastoral epic, The Land, and in 1933 for her Collected Poems. She was the inspiration for the protagonist of Orlando: A Biography, by her famous friend and lover, Virginia Woolf. 

In the publisher's original cloth binding.
