Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Adrian Daintrey (Jacket design) (illustrator). First Edition. An ex-library copy of the true first edition. Dustwrapper illustration by Adrian Daintrey. Elizabeth Taylor's eleventh novel - shortlisted for the 1971 Booker Prize. ***Very good in mauve cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on a black panel on the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. Head and tail of spine and lower corners slightly creased. There is a slight reading lean to the binding, and a light vertical reading crease to the spine. Page block edges clean with no foxing. Internally also very good with no inscriptions, but with the following library marks: Withdrawn for sale stamp on the front free endpaper, Lincolnshire Library Service stamp on the printer's page - no other marks (please see scans). Pages clean with no foxing. No creases or tears - just a light top corner crease to p.3/4. Spine tight. ***In a very good nicely illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, and retains the original publisher's printed price of £1.80 net. The dustwrapper is complete with just light edge wear and rubbing. No significant creasing, chips or tears. Spine of dustwrapper slightly browned, otherwise the dustwrapper is clean and bright. ***206 pages. 203mm x 135mm. ***'"Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont" received favourable reviews on its publication. Kingsley Amis described it as a "continuously fascinating novel, always pushing the reader one way and another", and emphasized its humour despite the seemingly grim subject matter. The Washington Post reviewer noted the "fastidious distance" with which Taylor avoided sentimentality in her descriptions of the lonely hotel residents. The Times singled out the individuality of the characters, and remarked that Taylor's humour effectively balanced the pathos of the subject matter. In a 1973 essay about Elizabeth Taylor's work in the New Statesman Paul Bailey described "Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont" as both her "funniest" and "saddest" book, "deeply upsetting" but "a joy to read" because of the way in which the story is told, and compared her to Chekhov. In 2015 the writer and editor Robert McCrum placed "Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont" 87th in a chronological list of "100 best novels in English" published in The Guardian.' (Wiki). ***'Mrs Palfrey, who has spent much of her married life in the East, retires as a widow to the less exotic purlieus of the Cromwell Road. In the Claremont Hotel reside a number of old people, whose chief activity is to fill in, like some yawning crater, the time. There is Mrs Burton who drinks, Mrs Arbuthnot who suffers from arthritis, Mr Osmond who writes to the newspapers. The conversation and the menus are equally monotonous. Then Mrs Palfrey accidentally meets a young man, Ludo, who is writing a novel (in Harrods which is warmer than his basement flat). She begins to feel for him, and then to pass hi off to her fellow residents as her grandson. And life becomes more exciting for her than she could have anticipated.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A nice clean ex-library copy of the first impression of the true first edition, in its original dustwrapper, and in very presentable condition. A very uncommon book. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
