Swinnerton: An Autobiography

London, United Kingdom: Hutchinson & Co., 1937. A nice bright copy which has been signed by Frank Swinnerton to the title page with no further inscriptions. Housed in the chipped, rubbed dustwrapper with a few small hairline tears to the edges.. Light overall signs of wear and handling commensurate with age. Head of dustwrapper spine has been neatly strengthened to rear with clear tape. Also two small tape repairs to front top of spine at folds. Neatly and carefully done. Protected in a removable archival booksleeve to preserve its condition. Printed in the same year as the first impression. This book of memories and recollections mentions and expands on Frank Swinnerton's meetings and connections with some of the most eminent writers of his day. A very absorbing and at times very funny autobiography. Scarce to encounter having been signed by the author. Frank Swinnerton (1884-1982) was an English novelist, critic, biographer, and essayist. He had a long and very interesting life in publishing which made him one of the last links with writers including Arnold Bennett, John Galsworthy, and H. G. Wells who were all born in the 19th century. A fascinating book.. Signed by Author. Fourth Impression. Cloth. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Fourth Impression.
