About this Item
Small 8vo. Hardcover. Pp. 578. First UK Edition. In very good condition; red cloth boards with black title on spine. Dust-jacket shows signs of shelf-wear, such as minor marks and scratches. Small creases and tears along the edges. Faint water stains on the spine but overall in very good condition. Pages themselves are clean and unmarked with light foxing. First two pages are clipped in upper corner. More than 50 years after M. F. K. Fisher logged her musings and memories on food, love, and life, her nuanced stories still entertain and enlighten. If you haven't yet read Fisher's work, you will thoroughly enjoy discovering its variety, richness, and honesty. Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher was an American food writer. She was a founder of the Napa Valley Wine Library. Over her lifetime she wrote 27 books. Fisher believed that eating well was just one of the "arts of life" and explored this in her writing. W. H. Auden once remarked, "I do not know of anyone in the United States who writes better prose". Seller Inventory # 036618
