Beschreibung
A very scarce collection of quotations on love, a charming work from the library of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie. A very scarce volume from the 'Beldina's Year Book' series, this volume containing a selection of quotations and maxims on love, a very charming work.From the library of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie, from her library at Julians Park, Hertfordshire. After being widowed at 25, Audrey married the fabulously wealthy American department store heir, Marshall Field III, later divorcing him and marrying the Honorable Peter Pleydell-Bouverie. In 1940 she bought Julians Park and redesigned the interior. Her library was impressive, with many examples of her own bookbinding.Audrey was an extravagant socialite and renowned beauty, the illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII (though she was also rumoured to be his daughter, or the lover of King Edward VIII), featured in the 'Book of Beauty' by Cecil Beaton. She had many high profile friends, such as Winston Churchill, Coco Chanel, Fred Astaire, and Nancy Mitford, a sparkling hostess of the Edwardian period, her hedonistic antics bringing her into the Bright Young Things. In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, with some light discolouration and marks to the boards and spine. Minor bumping to the spine and extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 794P16
