Pinkish brown cloth, lettered in silver, edges trimmed; white endpapers with brown line drawings by Vanessa Bell printed on each.

Woolf's brilliant biography of a dog; not just any dog, but the poet Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Spaniel, Flush. Flush not only played an active part in human life and inspired poetry, but was himself a dog estimated by all who knew him as a dog of worth and character well deserving celebration.
"FLUSH is only by way of a joke. I was so tired after THE WAVES, that I lay in the garden and read the Browning letters, and the figure of their dog made me laugh so I couldn't resist making him a Life. I wanted to play a joke on Lytton [Strachey] -- it was to parody him. But then it grew too long, and I dont think its up to much now. But this is all very egotistical." -- WOOLF, Vol. V. p.161-2. KIRKPATRICK A19b.
