Bookseller Notes

'Second edition' means second Kendrew printed edition. This edition is not only rare, it has a most interesting ownership inscription.The inside front cover is inscribed in pencil 'Miss Chester, Beach Lane, Stretton, [Nr?] Burton-on-Trent, Given to her by her Grandma.' Liking this book as we do, we have had many copies in various editions, but we don't recall any with such a inscription, demonstrating grand-maternal solicitude. This may explain the Milton on the label.
