An uncommon and excellent first edition of this fascinating book, partly fictional and partly autobiographical, by Jocelyn Brooke. The first edition of this work, an uncommon copy.A fascinating volume, neither entirely fictional nor entirely autobiographical, by Jocelyn Brooke. The third novel in a trilogy of autobiographical reminiscences, linking periods in the author's childhood and later life in a fictional and factual form. In a fine, clear prose with a poetical intensity that makes this book unforgettable. With the unclipped dustwrapper. In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally lovely with only minor shelfwear. The dustwraper is unclipped and very smart, with slight shelfwear and chipping, and a slight sunning to the spine. A minor faint scattered spotting internally to the wraps, not affecting the externals. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are bright and clean. Near Fine
