Stone - This fanciful, and very faintly autobiographic, romance - Thomas Burke". After the inscription someone, presumably the recipient, has written in pencil "(June 1940)".Small traces of label removed from front pastedown. Free endpapers a bit tanned. Very good indeed in the scarce dustwrapper which is very good with several tears at the edges and some spotting to the reverse.
