London: Rupert Hart-Davis, 1957. BOOK: Corners, Spine Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards; Spine Slightly Cocked; Edges Moderately Soiled. DUST JACKET: Repaired; Lightly Creased; Moderately Chipped; Slight Yellowing Due to Age; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: In her first book Spam Tomorrow we followed Verily Anderson in a rigorous steeplechase of war-time activity in the FANY's and into the first years of her marriage. Now in Our Square she draws us into the beguiling current of her family's life in a London Square. Hers is the kind of personality which attracts people and adventures like wasps round a honey-pot, and she makes us eager companions in her progress through all the hazards of bringing up children which, by the time we leave her, number five. Alternately soothed down and over-inspired by her enchanting, if not always practical husband, the author sees the events of fundamentally simple life reel by in Glorious Technicolour, whether she is entertaining for the Prime Minister at Lancaster House, or playing the piano for dancing classes for Teddy boys, nuns, and only partially reformed bad girls. She broadcasts about her visit to the Royal Garden Party, breaks an ancient goat to harness by unorthodox methods and benefits the home for Harebells (alias fallen women) with a lecturer who might have been more tactfully chosen. She copes with a varied and colourful succession of lodgers, one of whom bursts into flames. The hospitals of London become mere antechambers to the Anderson household as lodgers and children move from fate to fate. But, as the B.B.C. points out, when Verily preens herself on being asked to appear on television in lieu of the Archbishop of Canterbury, it is only because she is just any ordinary British woman.. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Descripción:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.
