About This Item
John Westhouse (Publishers) Ltd., London, 1947. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Inscribed by Author(s). 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). A presentation copy, fondly inscribed by the author on the title page: "For Tamara, to show I haven't forgotten her! Ever affectionately Ethel Mannin Oct. 1952". 8vo. 190pp. Green cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with a small gilt-stamped decoration to the base of the upper board. With a frontispiece and nine wood-engraved illustrations. Backstrip ends slightly rubbed and discoloured. With some light spotting to the free endpapers, the half-title, and to the margins of two adjacent text leaves. A very good copy in marked and dust soiled dust wrapper, nicked with a little loss to several extremities and with a short jagged tear. The wrapper appears to be price-clipped, but the price (6/- net) remains in situ. "A day-to-day record of the author's three months of solitude in a three-roomed cottage among the bogs and boulders and bare stony mountains of the district known as Connemara, which is in the West of the County Galway, in the province of Connaught, in the far west of Ireland" - blurb.
