Sobre este artículo
London: Faber and Faber, 1932. Cloth. Good-only. FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR. 8vo, pp. 352. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Shaken, binding slack, but holding, spine sunned, joints splitting, especially rear, corners bumped. Some foxing, inscribed by Farjeon in publication year in sepia pen to ffep: "Dear Maggie/ from Eleanor & Pod/ May 1932" and in another hand below: "Bertha Hagart/ July 1956". Else, clean. Good-only. It seems likely that Bertha Hagart (later Rose) was the Royal Academy of Music (RAM)-trained, South African pianist, who was active professionally both in South Africa and Britain in the 1950s. If this is the case, it also seems probable that Hagart and Farjeon met through the author's elder brother Harry, who taught at RAM for 45 years. Pod was Farjeon's partner and friend, George Earle; Maggie, sadly, remains unidentified.
