Top edge lightly dust soiled. Binding a little tender at several gatherings, and with some fox spotting to preliminary and concluding leaves, and to margins and occasional leaves throughout.

A nice bright copy in the correct first state pictorial dust wrapper (with three advertisements on the rear panel), price-clipped and quite lightly faded at the spine panel and with a little rubbing to the spine panel ends. A series of memories, reflections and previously unused sketches of West Country life, arranged in the form of a diary and including a lengthy account of the author's 1935 visit to Germany and the "Reichsparteitag am Nurnberg" at which he was present.
