Descripción

8vo., Third Impression; original green cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, upper board mildly sunned at extreme head and tail of backstrip else a very good, bright, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter a little chafed at extremities and with minor loss (affecting lettering) at head and tail of backstrip. Published in the same year as the first edition. Undoubtedly the author's most sought-after work, Durrell's unsurpassed first volume of autobiography is a twentieth century classic. His wonderfully written and often hilarious recollections of childhood and natural history in 1930s Corfu are augmented by Ralph Thompson's splendid dustwrapper artwork. The Durrell-Thompson partnership, prose perfectly complemented by illustrations, enhanced all the early Durrell works published by Hart-Davis.
