FINE BOOK and Wrapper: SIGNED COPY.SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, MELVYN BRAGG without dedication. No other inscriptions. Fine HB and Wrapper.
In the Spring of 1946, ex-corporal Samuel Richardson returns home from Burma to Wigton in Cumbria, to the joyful relief of his young wife, Ellen. He finds a town in which little, seemingly, has changed; the same twisting alleys, weavers' cottages and medieval archways; and the same lack of prospects for an uneducated, working-class man like himself. Sam, however, has changed. With this absorbing story of one family, Melvyn Bragg conveys the experience of millions in the aftermath of the Second World War. Based on his own background and strongly evoking both the era and the Cumbrian landscape. this book is a taut, profoundly moving and powerful novel by a writer at the height of his powers. 346 pp.

About greaves-leaves
I am an independent retired individual who has specific interests in History, particularly local History and relevant scarce books. Many of the books for sale are from the collection I have built over the years. I do not operate as a business and spend a few hours a week on my hobby. However being retired I am usually available to service orders promptly and personally.
