London, England: London, UK: Mills and Boon, 1958, 1st Edition, First Printing, 1956. ----------hardcover, a Very Good example in original brown cloth with black lettering, a tight square copy, a bit of age toning to endpapers, a bit of age toning to the upper edge of the text bock, ever so slightly musty but nothing too offensive --- in an attractive Good dustjacket with some short closed tears and small chips, a bit of sunning to the red colour on the spine of the jacket, crease on front flap of jacket, some foxing to the verso of the jacket --- a nice example of the jacket which is now in a hi-quality mylar protector, this copy has been signed and inscribed "Phyl from Ros. -One fellow-suthener to another! March 13th 1957", "suthener" is a Cornwall term so Pilcher has signed this to a Cornish friend/acquaintance BUT MORE INTERESTING is the fact this has been signed and dated by Pilcher early in 1957 even though the publication date is 1958 so a very early copy that likely came directly from Pilcher, a rare title but extremely rare in dustjacket and stupidly rare signed, --- her 8th book as Jane Fraser and her 9th book overall, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo ///SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE///.

Description:
London: Dean & Munday, [ca. 1820s] First edition? There is also a twenty-four-page Derby edition from T. Richardson. We have been unable to establish priority. Both editions are scarce: OCLC records only three copies of this edition (UCLA, the Huntington, Princeton) and three of the T. Richardson (University of Alberta, Cambridge, NYPL, University of Kentucky). Modern gray paper wrappers. 4 x 7 in. . With a hand-colored frontispiece of two women dressed in early nineteenth century gowns. Offsetting to title-page, otherwise a very good, clean copy. A sensational novel of a young woman who leaves her modest country life to find employment in the corrupt and fast-paced city. Though besieged by the advances of men, Fanny Bilson maintains her honor and escapes back to the safety of her father's home, now with a reputable gentleman on her arm.
