Glossy and great colors on the DJ, with just a mild fading to the spine of the lavender. No scuffing or shelfwear to speak of. First American Edition of the classic work from the British novelist Muriel Spark. Dame Muriel Spark (1918-2006) was a Scottish poet, essayist; superb short story writer turned brilliant novelist. In 1954, Muriel converted to Roman Catholicism after editing the letters of Cardinal John Henry Newman. She felt that her new faith contributed to her gaining the confidence to become a novelist. She was supported in her decision by Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh. Her son from her marriage to Sidney Oswald Spark and Muriel was mostly raised by her parents, and remained committed to her original Jewish faith. The Times in 2008 counted her as one of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945." Her best known novel is probably The Prime of Miss Jane Brodie (1961). The novel became a hit, long-running Broadway play starring Vanessa Redgrave and the 1969 film for which Maggie Smith won the Oscar for Best Actress. We have several other First Editions from Muriel Spark - please check our listings.
