THOMAS, Edward.

£2,000 · Offered by Peter Harrington · No longer available

In Pursuit of Spring. First edition, with the rare dust jacket retaining the scarce illustrated plate on the front panel. Thomas's last work of prose provides an account of his week-long bicycle ride from central London out into the Quantock Hills in Somerset undertaken in March 1913. It is often considered the best of Thomas's country books, and mixes "observation, information, stories, portraits, self-portraits, literary criticism, folk-tales, and reflection" (ODNB).
