Scarce, nonetheless, in such condition, with the striking wrapper artwork retaining its brightness. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. First edition of Violet Trefusis autobiography, in which she covers a life from the first thing I remember , through her Edwardian upbringing as the daughter of Alice Keppel (mistress of King Edward VII), her entry into Parisian aristocratic and literary circles, her interactions with Cocteau and Proust, her return to England during the war, and ending with her mother s death in 1947, though it omits entirely her relationship with Vita Sackville-West - despite being read and edited by Vita in Florence prior to publication. In the introduction, Trefusis writes: 'I have not lied, I have merely omitted, by-passed the truth, whenever unpalatable'. Written in the aftermath of the Second World War, and in the vacuum of both her parent s deaths, the work remains an insightful literary and social portrait of Europe between the wars, and is wonderfully offset by Jullian's charming illustrations. Scarce. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.…
