The Go-Between.

HARTLEY, L.P.

Published by London Hamish Hamilton, 1953

First edition, first impression, inscribed by the author; 8vo; a little rubbing to front free end paper, else unmarked internally; publisher's red cloth, gilt lettering to spine, red top stain bright, with the unclipped pictorial dust-jacket by Biro, a few short closed tears to extremities, traces of internal repair to head of spine, small stain to rear fold at head, restoration to spine at foot, slightly toned and dust-soiled, else a bright copy in the moderately worn dust-jacket. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author in blue ink on the title page: 'For Leon Drucker, with all my good wishes, Leslie Hartley'. Memorably filmed and often cited as the novel with the most recognisable first lines in literature: 'The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there'. A tricky book to find inscribed.
