Vertically ribbed sage green cloth, spine and upper board lettered in gilt, decoratively blind-stamped. Top edge gilt. Spine gently sunned, wear and bruising to extremities, joints rubbed. Endpapers toned and foxed, pencil POI to ffep, occasional pencil scoring to margins, a few marks, gently shaken. Else, clean. A robust copy. Dedicated, mysteriously, to "L. E. N. S.": possibly, it has been suggested, Elizabeth von Arnim, who had become Wells' lover in 1910. The novel had been serialised in The Grand Magazine (March-Nov. 1913). Despite Wells later referring to it as "gawky," the novel went on to be adapted twice for the British screen, first, in 1922 by the Stoll Film Company and again in 1949 by David Lean.

A pleasing copy of Glenway Wescott's WWII novel. Glenway Wescott (1901-1987) was an American poet and author, and a feature of the expatriate literary community in Paris. He appears briefly in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises as Robert Prentiss, "a rising new novelist," while in The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, Stein has Toklas observe, acerbically: "There was also Glenway Wescott but Glenway Wescott at no time interested Gertrude Stein. He has a certain syrup but it does not pour."
