About This Item
Michael Joseph, London, 1961. Third Impression. Hardcover. Good Condition/Good. Illustrator: Peter Farmer. A gentle tale of a brief interlude of pleasure in the drab existence of Fred Tomlinson, a man nearing his sixties. Fred shops, cleans, cooks, and otherwise indulges the eccentric demands of his three spinster sisters until the fun-loving Kitty, disrupts the households long-established routines. Penniless, heavy-drinking, and pregnant by a married man, she introduces him to dance, drink, kisses, and song while (without the knowledge of his sisters) he provides her a temporary lodging in the stable. After Kittys departure, Fred retains some of his newly-discovered capacity for joy. 94 pages. Dust Jacket price-clipped. Illustrator: Peter Farmer. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Fiction; Fiction; Inventory No: 268798..
