Beschreibung

This is the 1962 reprint of "I Met a Lady" by Welsh author Howard Spring, that was published in London by the Book Club. Spring was a serious, but successful and very popular author, creating stories for both adults and children. The jacket blurb is brief and to the point : "When he was a schoolboy George Ledra watched the recruits of World War I marching through the Manchester streets. His account of his own life, which makes this novel, concludes with the ending of the second war. This is a. stretch of time that Howard Spring has often written about a slice of his own days; and how people fared in the swiftly-changing political and social scene of those three decades fascinates him." Readers should find the novel thoroughly satisfying. Very nice that the book's dust-jacket is still present. ************************************ TITLE : I Met a Lady / AUTHOR : Howard Spring (1889 - 1965) / IMPRINT : The Book Club / PLACE : Charing Cross Road, London, England / DATE : (1962) / EDITION : Reprint, issued through the Book Club / STATUS : OP - Out of Print / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Hardcover, issued through the Book Club; 447 pages; 4 5/8" x 7 1/4"; light blue, paper-covered boards with black lettering on spine; pictorial dust-jacket.
