Add to basketFIRST EDITION, pp. 296, crown 8vo, original black cloth, backstrip with lettering and decoration in silver, top edge red, others lightly spotted with tail edge roughtrimmed, attractive dustjacket a little chipped, very good. Scarce, the author's first and only novel; she also collaborated on plays with Beatrice Gilbert, and the…relevance of a theatrical setting is extended by the blurb beyond the title of the work through a structural comparison to Noël Coward's 'Cavalcade'. The narrative centres on 'the experiences and interactions' of English students in Munich, with the pivotal location of the 'Pension of Fraulein Riemer, a decayed gentlewoman' (dustjacket blurb).
