About This Item
New York: William Morrow and Company 1979. (Hardcover) 391pp. Very good in very good dust jacket. Illustrated endpapers, illustrations. The dust jacket is price-clipped and lightly edgeworn. "William Makepeace Thackeray was once so disgusted by an unduly fulsome biography he was reading that he threw away the volume and said to his daughters, 'Let there be non of this when I go.' They saw to it that there was not. Yet what an autobiography this most witty and self-aware of Victorians could have written if he had chosen. Regretting that he had not, Margaret Forster decided, after reading every word he had ever written, she would let Thackeray speak for himself". Illustrations by William Makepeace Thackeray. (Fiction, Autobiography, Biography, Historical Fiction).
