About This Item
London: Faber, 1951. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. Publisher's turquoise-green cloth lettered in gilt. Little rust marks to the bottom edge, offsetting to both sets of end-papers overall VG indeed in like price-clipped D/W with shallow loss at the head of the spine and minor rubbing to the extremities. Scarce. Romance, climbing and character-building set in Snowdonia. A leading contender for the accolade of the finest climbing novel ever written. This novel is a must-read on several levels: as an affectionate portrayal of an imperfect and contrary heroine; as a novel which has considerable insight and knowledge of the social and economic double-standards of the post-War period, particularly those surrounding the role of women; and as an insider-portrait of a climbing community; it is an enthralling read (Women Climb). The book stands to be ranked alongside the work of such writers as Alan Sillitoe who followed.
