First Edition
Octavo, pp. [1-10] 11-309 [310-311: blank], publisher's blue cloth stamped in light blue. First U.S. edition. Fanciful, somewhat autobiographical sketches of the author's youth in London. Burke's father died when his son was a few months old and the family had some years of struggle. Until he was nine, Burke lived with his uncle in the London district of Poplar. He left school at fifteen and entered a commercial office, which he hated. He began writing and sold his first story at sixteen, quit his clerk's job at nineteen and became assistant to a secondhand bookseller. After some success in his literary endeavors, especially following the publication of LIMEHOUSE NIGHTS (1916), he devoted himself to literary work. His specialty was writing about the more lurid aspects of the London slums. A fine copy. (#160136).

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good+. First edition. First edition. 8vo. Original pale sage cloth. Dust-jacket, correctly priced 7/6. Highly attractive example of the first edition of this novel by the author of Limehouse Nights. The work describes growing up in London's East End, and is often believed to be largely autobiographical, although the author would comment in later years, "this has been taken to be my personal story, but it is a mixture. A few passages here and there have some autobiographical basis, but the treatments is at five or six removes from the actual." Scarce in the jacket, let alone in such condition. Book.

First edition. Octavo. 288 pages. A novel of growing up in London.Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: "To P.M. Stone - This fanciful, and very faintly autobiographic, romance - Thomas Burke". After the inscription someone, presumably the recipient, has written in pencil "(June 1940)".Small traces of label removed from front pastedown. Free endpapers a bit tanned. Very good indeed in the scarce dustwrapper which is very good with several tears at the edges and some spotting to the reverse.
