About this Item

Flat-signed by author to title page. From the outset, an incipient sense of dread permeates this stunning novella. It is Mothers' Day 1924, and both masters and servants go their separate ways on foot, by bicycle, train and sports car. Swift retains very tight control of the narrative, meaning we enter very intimately into this charged and fraught story, subtitled "a romance". Magnificent, and presented here in a fine and very attractive little book. The fine jacket has just a little loss to top edge. Very attractive Modigliani cover portrait with relief lettering.

Shipping Terms:

We hope you find the online purchasing process smooth. If you would like to pay in another way - e.g. by bank transfer or paying by card over the telephone - please get in touch by phone or email.

Free standard shipping within the UK for all orders. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR INTERNATIONAL (EX-UK) SHIPPING RATES

In the UK, we normally use Royal Mail.

We deliberately recycle packaging. Your books will be given much care and attention before dispatch and will be sent in pre-used materials.

As a matter of course, all our books are cleaned sensitively, researched, catalogued, photographed and thus treated with the respect a vintage artefact deserves. We then re-cover most of our books in new, industry standard protective wrappers. These are inert, acid-free, and will not harm the book or dust jacket. We don't do this only if there is already a clean and serviceable wrapper on the book, or if to remove a previous covering would cause damage.
