London: William Heinemann, 1953. First edition. Cloth. Very Good Indeed/Very Good Indeed. 7" by 5". None . Bright copy of this scarce first edition of Olivia Manning's fourth novel, wrapped in its unclipped dust wrapper. Very scarce first edition of this novel, rarely seen on the market and found in only nine institutional libraries including the British Library and the National Library of Scotland among others. Fourth novel by British novelist Olivia Manning, narrating of the main character's attempts to leave his birthplace. Complete with its unclipped dust wrapper. Manning's style is well-regarded for her artistic eye an vivid descriptions. In the original publisher's full cloth binding. Externally lovely with minor shelf wear only, minor bumping to head and tail of spine and extremities. Dust wrapper unclipped and very smart with minor shelf wear, lightly chipped to head and tail of spine. Internally, firmly bound. Minor spotting to fore edge, not affecting pages that are otherwise bright and clean throughout. Very Good Indeed
