Frost in May.

£1,250 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

The author’s scarce first novel, and one of the most perfectly designed books of its era. Examples as nice as this are very uncommon. A very good copy, minor cockling to the free endpapers, couple of smudges to the perilous white cloth. Dust jacket somewhat marked and lightly chipped with a small puncture to the front panel.

• Year: 1933
