Description

George Routledge & Sons Ltd., London, 1926. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 229pp. Red smooth-weave cloth lettered in gold at the spine. The backstrip faded and with a touch of much lighter uneven fading to the margins of the rear board and a small area of light soiling to the base of the upper board. Top edge dust soiled and with a touch of spotting, also to the fore edge and, very lightly, to half a dozen preliminary leaves. A very good copy. No dust wrapper. The author's first book, a splendid travelogue with the increasingly relevant closing lines: "The world seemed larger now than it had done in 1909. Private school, public school, university; intermittent trips abroad, intermittent Wiltshire; and last of all this tour, had all intervened. Leaning forward to warm my hands over the logs, I experienced a new price of race: the pride of being, as well as English, European"..
