Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

A third impression of the true first edition, published in 1966. The book was originally published in 1948. With chapter heading line drawing illustrations by Lynton Lamb. ***Near fine in green cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still beautifully bright, having been protected by the dustwrapper. Head and tail of spine slightly creased, otherwise no bumps or creasing to the boards. Corners sharp. Boards clean and unmarked. Top edge of page block slightly foxed. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean with no marks or creases and nice white paper. No reading crease to the spine. Binding square and tight. ***In a very good colour illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 25s. net. The dustwrapper is complete, with just some very light creasing and rubbing to the extremities. There is the shadow from a sticker [since removed] on the front panel, and a light coffee-cup ring mark to the back panel. The spine colour has lightly faded. No chips. No tears. No creasing. ***210 mm x 140 mm. 233 pages. ***'Flora Jane Thompson (née Timms; 5 Dec 1876 - 21 May 1947) was an English novelist and poet best known for her semi-autobiographical trilogy about the English countryside, "Lark Rise to Candleford"'. [Wiki] ***'This is a portrait of an Oxfordshire village, and the story of the lives of some of the inhabitants in the period round about Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887. In those years life in such remote country places flowed peacefully; war was no more than a subject for school history lessons and for old men's tales by the winter fireside; the motor bus, the cinema, and the wireless broadcast were still in the unglimpsed future; hard work with plain fare was the ordinary villagers' lot and they had, as they themselves said, troubles enough and to spare. But life was not all hardship; such pleasures as came their way were enjoyed with a wholeheartedness unknown to-day. The village feast and the flower show were highlights of the year; the may-garland was still carried in procession on May Day; there were mummers at Christmas; weddings and christenings, harvest homes, pig feasts, alehouse jollity, and dancing on the green. In the intervals between such doings the villagers had to depend upon personal resources for entertainment, and with what zest they lived and the complications they encountered are recorded here by an eyewitness who had already shown in "Lark Rise to Candleford" her unique gift of preserving in attractive and accomplished prose a phase of English life which might otherwise pass unrecorded.' [Quote taken from the inside front flap of the dustwrapper] ***A third impression of Flora Thompson's "Still Glides the Stream" in very nice collectable condition. Embellished with line drawings by Lynton Lamb. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
