Sobre este artículo
London: The Bodley Head, 1950. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Julian Trevelyan. 8vo, coloured illustrated dust jacket by Julian Trevelyan over green boards with gilt titles on spine. Some chipping / tears to edges of price clipped dust jacket. 186pp. Part 3 of the Orchid Trilogy. Part fiction and part autobiography, these reminiscences ‘cover loosely linked periods in the author’s childhood and later life…. here the theme is woven about the startling pseudo - Gothic lifeboat station at Folkestone, which, with its grotesque gaggle of geese, became known as the The Goose Cathedral.’ Originally from the library at a Royal Air Force station with a single stamp on the blind title page & with a personal pictorial bookplate on the front endpaper.
