Publication details: Robert Hale,[1947,]
Rare Book
A scarce book. A novel that begins in Soho, but is set for the larger part in Gambia. The author had a varied literary career that included volumes of poetry (some of her early verse was set to music by Elgar) and works on spiritualism; she also appeared on the stage and screen, and had a fledgling career as an artist (continuing into the occasional cover design for her own work, as here) before her various interests converged in her writing. Her best known work is probably her previous one with this publisher, 'Number Seven, Queer Street' - a volume of supernatural detective stories.
FIRST EDITION, pp. 478, crown 8vo, original mid blue cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt, very faint mark at foot of lower board, top corners gently knocked, edges toned, strip of very faint browning to inner margin of free endpapers, dustjacket with a design by the author, slightly rubbed and nicked, front flap clipped at bottom corner but with price intact, very good
