Rare Book
Inscribed by the author on the flyleaf: 'Darling Irene, a very trivial book, with love from Margaret Storm Jameson'. The recipient was the novelist Irene Rathbone, who has not taken the author's warning as a pretext not to read the book - her single note compares a character in the novel to one in Chekhov's 'The Cherry Orchard'.Laid in to this copy is a 2pp. typed letter from the author, signed 'Margaret' and dated March 1 1963, thanking Rathbone for her 'madly generous' assessment of this book, agreeing that it would have been better as a play (but that world is a 'closed circle') and promising to visit her in her new flat; Jameson and her husband, Guy Chapman are 'just back from Cheltenham, which is a pleasant place, full of corpses' and discussing the wretched state of relations with France under de Galle.
1962, pp. [iv], 214, crown 8vo, original green cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt, lean to spine, clipped review from The Times laid in at rear, dustjacket a little rubbed and nicked, good
