SHANKS, EDWARD — My England

New Haven, CT, Funk & Wagnalls Company. 1938, First Printing. Cloth, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ill.: B & W Photographs, Maps and Illustrations. Hard Cover, Text block clean and tight; Book cover some faded and edge worn, spine faded and inside back cover is slightly torn from spine. In the prologue, the author states: "What follows I should like to be allowed to describe as an impersonal autobiography. I mean an autobiography in which as much emphasis as possible is placed on things seen and a little as possible on the person who has seen them." Thus, an overview of England by and Englander from a much gentler time in the world; Lacks dust jacket; 307pages, no index. Very Good.
