Scatter of spots to top edge, endpapers toned, Warren F. Johnson's studious ex libris to to front pastedown. Else, clean and tight. In Anne Marie Jauss' original pictorial dust jacket, featuring a grumpy statue of an English bulldog in charcoal: price-clipped, spine sunned, gentle wear to extremities. A lovely copy of Bryher's WWII novel. Very good/ very good With a printed dedication to Sylvia Beach "and the memory of Adrienne Monnier". Monnier had translated Beowulf into French and written the introduction for the first French edition, published in a limited edition of 100 copies by Mercure de Paris in 1948 (see our copy, ref. 2459). Monnier described Beowulf as "un petit classique". Set in London during the Blitz, it centres on the lives that intersect through the Warming Pan tearoom, run by Selina and Angelina. Anne Marie Jauss (1902/7-1991) was a prolific German-American artist and book illustrator.
