What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

First edition. With the vanishingly scarce original unclipped dust wrapper. Illustrated with six plates. Collated complete. Written by Mary Vivian Hughes, a British educator and author known for her series of four memoirs beginning with A London Child of the 1870s (1934). In these works we meet Tony, the "golden aunt". This book provides further insight into her own fascinating life and romantic story, from her earliest memories of the tin-mins in Cornwall to the pine-forests and fjords of Norway.

Condition

In the original green cloth binding. Externally, very smart with minor wear to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrapper is sound with light wear and chipping to the extremities resulting in light loss to the head and tail of the spine. Sunning to the spine with the odd small closed tear to the panel edges. The odd small mark to the panels. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd small spot. Light age toning to the endpapers.
