About This Item
Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London 1982 hardcover, 6" x 8¾", with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, etc. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD price-clipped dust jacket When renowned oriental scholar, translator, and Bloomsbury Group member Arthur Waley died in 1966, it came as a shock to even his oldest friends to find he left a widow. This story, written by her at intervals during the thirty-seven years of their extraordinary relationship, reveals she finally married him a month before his death. Because Alison Waley is a writer of distinction, this is a work of literature; but above all though, it is a tender, sometimes funny, revealing love story.
