Beschreibung

"It was in Florida that a sudden desire possessed me for a cottage in England. I had never before wanted anything as on that sunny Christmas Day I wanted a cottage in the English countryside. It was strange that I should be thirty-five before I became enthusiastically English and felt the desire to possess the Englishman's heritage, a view of friendly hills, green fields, and an old garden with phlox, honeysuckle, lavender and roses." --- First printing April 1934, then May 1934, this July 1934. Dedicated to Lady (Philip) Gibbs. --- Original yellow cloth boards, lettered green on spine and top cover (19.8 cm height). Blind embossed top cover and spine.

Four illustrations, tinted plates, by Percy Home: 1: Pilgrim Cottage, 2: The Study, 3: Our Fireplace, From South Room, 4: Old Fireplace, Dining-Room.
