Seller's Description:
Good in Very Good jacket. Size: 8vo-over 7.75"-9.75" tall; 7th printing of the first Faber and Faber publication of 1928. Hardcover in green cloth covered boards with yellow spine title. Spine and boards have some surface soil, spine ends lightly bumped, four tips still sharp. Spine has a forward lean. Negligible soil and foxing on page block. 437pp text is crisp and white without writing, highlighting, or tears. A few pages have bent corners. Original dj is unclipped with a blank sticker over price, some tiny chips, spine is yellowed with a light circular 1/2-Inch mark at the foot, displays well in new mylar. We are constantly finding some new evidence of the vitality of this delicious masterpiece of humorous sporting literature. Sometimes it is an old admirer who has been reading the stories again and enjoying them, if possible, more than ever. The strange thing is that it seems to make no difference whether the reader is a confirmed rider to hounds or has never ridden a horse in his or her life; whether he or she adores Ireland, or positively deplores Irish charm. This is a new edition in a more spacious format, containing all three of the books of stories told by the Irish R.M. -34 in all. Edith Somerville and Martin Ross were second cousins born to distant branches of a prominent Anglo-Irish Ascendancy family. They lived together at the Somerville home for most of their adult lives, traveling frequently to Europe and collaborating on numerous books and articles. Their most famous novel, The Real Charlotte, was published in 1894. After Ross's death in 1915, Somerville continued to write and publish under both names, claiming that the partnership endured beyond the grave.
