Bookseller Notes

The author's magnum opus, notable in a personal sense for the author having undergone gender surgery during the course of their publication; although she had started publishing as Jan Morris by the time it was completed, and the final volume (this only) is copyrighted thus, the original version of the author's name was retained for uniformity.
