Sitwell caught the character of the English Eccentric at a time just before the wholesale decline of Empire, and thus the character portrayed here is a 'standard' one. Sitwell takes no prisoners and pokes fun by speaking the truth. We get a gifted glimpse of the ?usually overlooked obvious.? A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st./2nd. with NO VISIBLE FAULTS in a complete undamaged slightly marked slip case.*
