    Description

    Early Edition, Very Scarce, With Dustwrapper

    The second edition of this very scarce work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original price-clipped dust wrapper. Mabel Florence Lethbridge (1900-1968) wrote three autobiographies of her life during and between the two World Wars. In 1933, she befriended Geoffrey Bles, who published her first autobiography 'Fortune Grass', covering the first 27 years of her life. It recounts the explosion at the munitions factory which severely injured her, and her ensuing jobs, including her fame as 'Peggy the Chair Lady'. This work is becoming a rare find, particularly with the very scarce dust wrapper.

    Condition

    In publisher's original cloth binding, with original price-clipped dust wrapper. Externally, cloth is very smart and bright. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with some spotting to the fore edge, affecting the occasional page. Dust wrapper is chipped to the head and tail of the spine and to the folds of the flaps, with a little sunning to the spine, but is otherwise smart.
