About This Item
The First UK printing published by Putnam, London in 1924. The BOOK is in Very Good++ condition. Original green cloth has light fading and some mild pushing at the spine tips. Gilt titling remains bright. Pages untrimmed as issued. Minor foxing throughout, with some light off-setting of the blank endpapers. The pictorial WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ or better condition. Correctly priced '7/6 net' to the spine. Minor loss to the spine ends with toning to the spine. The unattributed wrapper artwork looks striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. The Irish author Forrest Reid's personal copy with his penned name to the lower front end-paper. LP. Hartley's first book, consisting of ghost and other short stories, some of which had appeared in the undergraduate magazine 'Oxford Outlook', of which Hartley had been the editor. Forrest Reid (1875 - 1947 N. Ireland) was an Irish novelist, literary critic and translator. He was, along with Hugh Walpole and J. M. Barrie, a leading pre-war novelist of boyhood. He is still acclaimed as the greatest of Ulster novelists and was recognised with the award of the 1944 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his novel 'Young Tom' (Wiki). Very scarce with the wrapper in such collectible condition. Less than a handful of copies have appeared at auction. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
