ROMER WILSON. [Henry Williamson interest]. — Latterday Symphony. A novel.
The Nonesuch Press, London, 1st Edition, First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 137pp + [i] publisher's advertisement. Cloth-backed patterned green and yellow paper-covered boards, lettered in gold at the spine. Fore- and bottom edges untrimmed. Free endpapers browned. A tiny area of insect nibbling impacts the base of the first sixty leaves resulting in the most miniscule of holes. This copy from the library of Henry Williamson, with a bookplate to that effect pasted to the base of the front pastedown (and therefore identifying it as one of a batch auctioned following the death of his son Richard Williamson in 2022). Very good indeed in the uncommon dust wrapper, fractionally rubbed and with a little toning to the spine panel. A novel set during three parties over the course of twenty-four hours, published six years after her Hawthornden Prize-winning novel 'The Death of Society' (Williamson himself would win the same prize the year the present volume was published)., Very Good, Very Good
