About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. 1956. First American Edition. Hardcover. [minor shelfwear, slight fading to cloth at spine ends (due to jacket paper loss), light dust-soiling to top of text block; jacket is quite presentable despite a little paper loss at the spine ends, and a general sun-browning of the spine and rear panel]. (endpaper maps) One of the author's many "Barsetshire" novels, placing the reader "once again happily in the midst of the George Knoxes, Lord Stoke, Edith Graham, the numerous Hallidays, and the wonderful inhabitants of Pomfret Towers. One death occurs, but it is not profoundly sad -- and nothing else exactly *happens* except that everyone (which naturally includes the servants) goes on meeting and taking tea and talking and arranging other people's lives and complaining about taxes and *them* (although not so much as when *they* used to be Labour). The weather, of course, is terrible. Nor is summer what once it used to be. We are, in a nutshell, still ourselves." .
