About This Item
Collins, London 1955, 8vo 320p green paper H/B. First pub. in Australia 1947, this London edition 1955. Catherine Gaskin's first novel which was said to be a 'triumph'. SIGNED Catherine Gaskin, on the title page. Slight top edge staining, pages beginning to show age yellowing. The cover is clean and bright with virtually no rubbing to edges or corners. Binding is tight and strong. The dust jacket is torn at the lower spine, worn along the spine edges and corners with small tears and chipping. The back of the jacket has a short biography of Catherine and promotion for her latest novel 'Sara Dane'. A very scarce copy and to the best of my knowledge the only signed copy available.
