About This Item

London: Evans Brothers Ltd.. Good with no dust jacket; Spine sunned, boards rounded, spine cocked, . owner name on verso of front free endpaper.. 1950. First Edition. Hardcover. Blue cloth. Map endpapers. Many black and white photos. Opinionated, entertainingly indignant marginalia throughout, making this as much a personal travel diary of the previous owner as it is Manning's. Manning is a British writer best known for her Fortunes of War series set during World War II, but this book is a travelogue through Ireland. The marginalia is largely critical of Manning’s prose, from her description of the Blarney Stone (“how damn silly can you get? ”) to the O’Shea scandal (“is this supposed to be witty? ”) but also blasts Pope John XXII, snobs, and the English in general. Two of the photos have other black and white photos pasted over them. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 202 pages .
