About this Item
First edition, (vi), 186pp, half title, title page illustrated by Edith Somerville, some foxing, bookplate of Edward Exton Barclay of Brent Pelham Hall on black endpapers, small piece missing from bottom edge of front free endpaper, blue cloth, black lettering and illustration of two horses and riders to upper board, gilt spine lettering, spine slightly faded. Edith Somerville comments in Elizabeth Hudson's Bibliography (1942) "I have admitted that these amateur-gipsy tours are not altogether as enjoyable as our accounts of them might lead the artless reader to imagine. They demand iron endurance, the temper of Mark Tapley, and the will to survive of Robinson Crusoe. I do not say that we possessed these attributes, but we realised their necessity." Hudson pp13/15. Size: 7.5 x 5 Inches. Seller Inventory # 014792
