Description:
London: Faber & Faber; (1944). First Edition . Hardcover. Dust Jacket Included. First U.K. edition, very good in a very good dust jacket. The book has foxing on the front and rear endpapers, and evidence of an erasure on the front endpaper. The jacket is slightly soiled and has a small chip at the top of the spine. The cheaper wartime paper seems to be the primary cause of the foxing.
