What Our Customers Say...
Description
Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
First uniform edition published in 1948, six years after the first limited and signed edition. A collection of short stories by Evelyn Waugh that came together after Waugh's work on a novel was interrupted as he was commissioned to join the Royal Marines. The novel was left in fragments which were published in this volume, hence the title Work Suspended. With 'Mr. loveday's Little outing,' 'Cruise,' 'Period Piece,' and others.
Complete with unclipped dust wrapper. An exceptional copy of this work.
