What Our Customers Say...
Description
Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce, With Dustwrapper
In the publisher's original green cloth binding, complete with the original unclipped dust wrapper.
This volume is a very scarce, second impression of this work.
This volume marks the beginning of Williamson’s remarkable 15-volume sequence, A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight, tracing the life of the Maddison family from the late Victorian era through to the post-war years.
The novel follows the introspective Richard Maddison as he navigates suburban London life and a tentative courtship with Hetty Turney, against a backdrop of social change and personal restraint.
