A Crown of Convolvulus
Lane, Margaret
William Heinemann London 1954 First Edition
12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Dark Green Cloth 250 g; X, 138 pages, last page blank, in decorated dustjacket. Foxing to all edges of the text block, offset tending to the end pages, foxing to the preliminary view pages, otherwise the text itself is clean and bright. Water stain evident to the external edge of the rear board, the dust jacket is severely foxed, and the front panel is partially detached from the spine, and there is a small piece missing from the lower left-hand corner of the rear panel. These stories are unusual without being consciously eccentric. Delicate in style, sometimes almost ambiguous in emotion, they explore the unexpected predicament, the concealed tragedy or comedy in human affairs. Short Stories Reasonable
