Waltham St. Lawrence, Berkshire; The Golden Cockerel Press, 1932. Hardcover (patterned cloth over leather spine). Ltd. edition #456/500. 73pp. Signed by Hugh Walpole on the dedication page. Privately printed with wood-engravings by Lynton Lamb. A fabulous account of Hugh Walpole's early life and a must read if you are a fan of his work. In near fine condition- a small chip at the top of the spine is the only blemish. Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole was an English novelist. A prolific writer, he published thirty-six novels, five volumes of short stories, two plays and three volumes of memoirs. His skill at scene-setting, his vivid plots, his high profile as a lecturer and his driving ambition brought him a large readership in the United Kingdom and North America. A best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s, his works have been neglected since his death.
