Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: New. 2nd Edition. Ordeal by Marriage is one of the least well-known and also one of the rarest of John Buchan s works. Initially published in very small numbers in 1915 its only reappearance in print, as far as I am aware, has been in John Buchan's Collected Poems edited by Andrew Lownie and William Milne,… published in 1996. Described by Robert G Blanchard in his bibliography (A33) as a poetic round-table discussion of various aspects of the marriage relationship , Susan Buchan (Lady Tweedsmuir) referred to it as a private joke written for a group of friends and quite incomprehensible to anyone else . It is very likely that copies were printed only for the Buchans and the seven friends referred to in the poem, perhaps with some for other family members. Blanchard comments that the copy he examined had been rebound and that it was not possible to obtain any details of the original covers. The only copy I have seen was unbound but with the pages sewn together and my view is that this is probably its original form. I am pleased to announce that through SMS Books a new reprint has been commissioned and is now available. Bound in white card with an outline of JB on the front cover it also contains an introduction to the poem and background notes on those referred to in the poem. This is an opportunity to acquire a stand alone copy of an otherwise almost unobtaiable JB work. It is, at present, available only from Crask Books. NOTE: This is a slim booklet and postage charges will be reduced to GBP1.00 (UK), GBP2.50 (Europe) and GBP3.00 (Rest of the world).
