Beschreibung

First edition. Signed by the author. Hardcover. Small quarto. Very good in good dustjacket (42s price intact) with some rubbing at the extremities and some small professionally closed tears. One of the central books of Australian bookselling and literary history. Illustrated with photographs and sketches, with the endpaper maps of Sydney streets of the time of the reminiscences. This copy is signed by the author on the dedication page (which carries the printed dedication "To the memory of Henry Lawson"), "James R. Tyrrell, 11th August '53." A further literary association is the fact that the copy belonged to Australian journalist and historian, Freda MacDonnell, author of "Before Kings Cross". The half-title page carries her bookplate, signed with her married name, and above that a Christmas gift-tag with a note from MacDonnell's mother that this gift is for her two daughters.
