About This Item
London: Macmillan and Co, 1944. 1st. hardback. Very good, 1st edition, with unclipped d/j (fair, some bumping and a little grubby); red clothbound boards clean (some fading near top edge) with gilt spine titling bright; text block firm, pages a little sunned but unmarked (wartime papers).. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). From the cover: Though not, stricttly speaking, a book of travel, many of these essays take the reader to distant parts of the world which now he can reach by no other means [due to the 2nd World War]: Central America, the West indies, with glimpses of China and other lands; to epochs, too, as far froom ours, Rome in the Eighteenth Century, England in the Regency. For Sir Osbert's mind is unlike that of any writer to-day, in its richness and variety, and the fun he brings to ordinary as well as extraordinary things. Above all, there is in him a special wisdom, born of faith, steadfast in its belief that art, literature, music, humanity and the humanities, are the things of ultimate consequence to a race.
