Item description from seller

First edition, first printing. Inscribed by the author. Original illustrated card wrappers with French flaps. Illustrated with black and white photographic plates. A very good copy, the binding firm with rubbing to the extremities and a little wrinkling to the spine. The contents with the odd small pencil annotation and foxing to the text-block edge are otherwise in good order and clean throughout. A lovely copy. Paperback issue, published simultaneously with the hardback. Inscribed by the author in blue ink to front free endpaper: "For Esmé Wynne-Tyson / with all good wishes, / Sybil Morrison / August 1962". Sybil Morrison (1893-1984) was one of the foremost figures in the twentieth-century peace movement in Britain. An enthusiastic suffragette in her youth, she dedicated her life to the promotion of pacifism, women's rights, penal reform, and nuclear disarmament. In the present volume, inscribed to the actress, author, and philosopher Esmé Wynne-Tyson (1898-1972), herself a dedicated proponent of pacifism, vegetarianism and other humanitarian issues, Morrison provides "a vivid account of the pacifist movement - the members of which have, for more than twenty-five years amid the bitterest international strife, demonstrated with passion and patience their renunciation of all wars and weapons, organised mass protests against the folly of armaments and pioneered in Britain the methods of non-violent direct action". A nice association copy and a scarce title signed. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. All items are catalogued by humans.
