      Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of classic Gollancz yellow jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (28s £1.40), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 159pp. 'The Last and the First' is Ivy Compton-Burnett's (1884-1969), posthumous novel, published in 1971, two years after her death. The work, complete if possibly awaiting revision, was untitled when it was discovered, and was so named as appropriate for her last novel, and also because of the Biblical quotation (Matthew 20:16) uttered (not for the first time in her canon), by one of the characters.
