Sobre este artículo
London: Michael Joseph, 1941. A first edition, first printing published by Michael Joseph in 1941. A very good book without inscriptions with a little browning to the top edge and spotting to the page edges. In a very good clipped wrapper (clipping affecting slightly the wording on the front flap). Some archival repairs to the spine tips. Some rubbing to the corners and edges. Scarce in first edition form and five years before the illustrated edition. Set against the backdrop of World War II, the novella tells the touching story of a reclusive hunchbacked artist named Philip Rhayader and a young girl named Fritha. Rhayader rescues an injured snow goose, and together, they form an unlikely bond. The story beautifully portrays themes of love, compassion, and the healing power of human connection. As war looms, the characters' lives become intertwined in a heart-warming and heartbreaking tale of sacrifice and redemption. "The Snow Goose" is a timeless classic celebrated for its emotional depth and evocative storytelling.
