Signed by Bridget Astor (of Hever Castle.) The book was produced in honour of her father, Gavin Astor of Hever, June 1st 1918 to June 28th, 1984. It is further gift inscribed to a family friend "To dear Margaret (Payne) with best wishes and many thanks for all you did for my mother, Bridget, September 2001."

A lovely copy with great provenance.
