A fine example of this important twentieth century novel.

flat signed by Laurie Lee to the half-title. 

The first suppressed issue, with the mention of 'a fire at the piano-works almost every year' to page 272. Following the initial printing, Lee was sued for libel, and the passage was subsequently removed.
