About This Item
London: George Allen and Unwin, 1981. First edition, first printing. Published by George Allen and Unwin in London, 1981. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper is so slightly sunned at the spine and the front panel, though the titling and gilt details are bright. It has not been price clipped. The boards are tight and free from chips and marks. The text blocks bright and white throughout. This copy is free from previous owners ink and is, overall, in near fine condition, cast from fine due to the very slight fading. A comprehensive collection of letters spanning the adult life (1914-1973) of one of the worlds most famous storytellers.
