About This Item
London : Chatto & Windus, 1977. First edition. Signed by Dirk Bogarde on the title-page. "A most enviable piece of (largely) pastoral recall, nostalgic to the point of being aromatic with the smells, colours, sounds, characters of English pre-war rural life, further embellished by the author's own pen-and-ink sketches, in the style of E. H. Shepard" (Birmingham Daily Post, 2 April 1977). The first and most celebrated of Bogarde's sequence of autobiographies. Medium 8vo (23cm). [xii],268pp. Photo plates and seventeen illustrations by the author. Original bright blue boards, ruled, blocked, and lettered in gilt; a few faint marks, but overall a very good, clean and sound copy in the jacket designed by the author, also very good.
