Black Swan, 1986. 232pp. Privately printed for Christmas 1986, edited by Cynthia Reavell with an introduction by Susan Hill. Original publisher's Wickel-Silver Special paper quarter bound over grey Regent-linen, lettered silver to spine.

Benson (1867-1940) was an extremely prolific English writer, completing over fifty novels, four novel series, short stories, plays, biographies, and other non-fiction works on subjects as varied as golf and grave digging. His last work, his third autobiography, was delivered to his publisher just ten days before his death. Masters, 1991. p.231. . Private printing of 750 copies, unnumbered. 8vo.
