Octavo, pp. [1-8] [1-3] 4-42 [43-48: blank] [note: last three leaves are blanks], original light brown textured boards with tan cloth shelf back, spine panel stamped in dark brown. First edition, trade issue. A single short story, a dark domestic drama about the bleak life of a poor family that comes from the country to work in London.
