The usual offsetting and toning to the front and rear end-papers otherwise a lovely near fine copy. No D/W although it is certainly good enough to take one. Includes Maugham's best short story 'Rain' which in its length and characterisation is more like a novella. It has been made into plays and movies.

It has often been chosen for anthologies and is prescribed reading for students attempting to master modern English literature. Photographs/scans available upon request.
