About this Item

Dublin & Cork: The Talbot Press, 1934. A celebrated memoir of the now-vasished lifestyle on the Blasket Islands off the west coast of Ireland. Regarded as a classic account (and a great read). Originally written in his native Irish and first published in 1929. This is a Very Good (minus) copy of the First Edition in English (translation and an Introduction by Robin Flower), published in the same year as Chatto's UK publication. For a famous book, rather uncommon. Blue cloth binding (faded to brown on the spine). Clean text; 324 pages; map of the islands as decorative endpapers. This copy is mildly bumped and has a lean; several spots of discoloration on the covers. There is a small paper label on the front cover and a previous-owner signature on the front paste-down. This is a sound copy in an uncommon edition, but not for the advanced collector. First Edition Thus. Hard Cover. Very Good Minus/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall.
