Hand-bound in Sage Reynolds's painted paper wrappers by Claudia Cohen, with gilt initials on front panel. A fine copy. A beautifully produced private press issue, presenting for the first time separately Greene's retrospective introduction to Travels with My Aunt (1969), originally written for the 1980 collected edition. In this short but revealing essay, Greene reflects on the origins of one of his most entertaining and unconventional novels - an affectionate departure from his darker Catholic works. The inclusion of facsimile manuscript pages offers an appealing glimpse into Greene's working process, while the use of T. H. Saunders handmade paper and the distinctive painted wrappers underscore the artisanal nature of the production. .
