About this Item
Prime Minister Harold Wilson's schoolboy copy neatly signed 'H Wilson 6' to front free end paper; extensive pencil annotations throughout the text. Near fine in tan cloth with black titles, the pages are crisp in a firm binding and clean apart from black marks on page 31. This book comes from the private collection of British Prime Minister Harold Wilson and his wife Mary who died recently at the age of 102. During his lifetime Harold Wilson kept the book in the Ashley Gardens mansion flat in Westminster that the couple shared until his death in 1995. After she lost her husband Mary Wilson continued to live in the couple's flat, surrounded by a lifetime's accumulation of books and memories until 2016.
