    Book First Edition Signed

    First edition. 288 pages + 48-page publisher's catalogue to the rear dated Autumn 1931. Inscribed by the author to the front endpaper: "Barbara, with love from Garda, Oct: 1931.". The book is quite firmly bound in somewhat marked, bumped and rubbed blue cloth, lettered in black. The text block is slightly foxed, age browned and dusty with minor marks. The dust jacket is the original and not price clipped, it is quite rubbed and grubby, with small chips and short closed tears to the edges, also a crease down the spine indicating that it has been folded flat separate from the book for a time. A literary romance, of a thoroughly modern middle-class girl who dallies with a string of admirers at parties, dances, and on the continent in Italy, before finding true love. It was the second of Huntsman's three novels, all of which are rare.
