About this Item

New York: Atheneum, 1981. First American Edition. Signed, dated and inscribed by Forster on the ffep to Rosemary Legge, an editor at Weidenfeld & Nicholson, with inscription as below. Octavo, cloth-backed paper covered boards, silver spine lettering, 311 pp. No jacket, as discussed below. Slight spine cant, else Near Fine. Brit novelist Forster - author most famously of Georgy Girl, basis of the film of the same name, but also of period Romance books, as well as biographies and literary criticisms - rather hilariously displays some inbred Brit haughtiness in her inscription in this copy of the Cumbrian romance novel, "The Bride of Lowther Fell". Addressing the above publisher in the year of publication, 1981, she opines in her inscription: "Dear Rosemary - NOT the novel I would like to give you [note: she is a literary critic too, remember] but the only one the Americans have deluged me with long after I've gone 'round the family off-loading them.Margaret, May '81.PS cover so vile I've burned it." Though she has thus sacrificed the jacket accompanying this copy, I've seen other examples of it, and while I can she why Ms. Forster needn't still her beating heart, it certainly isn't vile. It's average. It's a DUSTJACKET. Jeeze. L100.
