About This Item
London: J. M. Dent & Sons Ltd., (1940). First edition, first printing, second state binding. Without the dust wrapper. This is a near fine copy. The green cloth boards are toned at the spine, but remain sharp and free from notable chips and marks. The text blocks are free from foxing though slightly toned due to poor wartime paper stock. The internals are clean and free from any wear or inscriptions. Overall, this is a near fine copy marred only by the sunned spine.
A collection of autobiographical stories set in the writer's native Swansea in South Wales. Written over a number of years, the often comic stories show glimpses of his life, from early childhood up to his teens as a young reporter for the South Wales Daily Post.
