Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Thus. A fine as new copy of this enchanting book. Consists of two short, beautifully written memoirs: As It Was (1926) and World Without End (1931). They are about Helen Thomas' life with the poet Edward Thomas. In the first book they meet, fall in love, make love, and get married. The second describes their life until the day Edward left to return to the trenches in France. Read together, they are a powerful love story written with extraordinary frankness for the time. The endpapers and a bookmark are taken from a dress made in the 1930s from a hand block printed fabric designed by Phyllis Barron and Dorothy Larcher called Vernède after the poet Robert Vernède who was killed at Arras on April 9th 1917, the same day as Edward Thomas.

"Helen Thomas oriinally wrote 'As It Was' shortly after her husband, the poet Edward Thomas, was tragically killed at the Battle of Arras in 1917. It is a moving account of their courtship and first years of marriage together. The continuation of their story, 'World Without End', was written a few years later. When the books first appeared fictitious names were used for the leading characters as many of them were still alive. Now Helen and Edward Thomas's dayghters, Bronwen and Myfanwy, have added a key to identify them." Pp.188. Paperback, minor edge wear. VG. Seller Inventory # 49970
