Item description from seller

A very smart Reader's Union edition of Fothergill's reminiscences from the inter-war period, with illustrations. Reader's Union edition, not for sale to the general public. With the vanishingly scarce original unclipped dust wrapper. Illustrated with eight plates and numerous in-text images. Collated complete. A literary memoir of a British innkeeper, being a collection of reminiscences from the inter-war period. Automobile travel was just blossoming at the time and Fothergill was compelled to "take an inn". He settled first on the Spreadeagle at Thame between London and Oxford, before also purchasing The Royal Hotel at Ascot, and The Three Swans at Market Harborough. Written by John Rowland Fothergill, an English innkeeper and entrepreneur, described as a "pioneer amateur innkeeper" in Who's Who. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, excellent. Original unclipped dust wrapper is very smart with light wear to the extremities and minor sunning to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot, predominantly to the foredge. With the previous owner's bookplate to the front endpaper. Near Fine.…
