Author: RAYMOND, ERNEST
Title: Under Wedgery Down
Description: London, Cassell. 1974, First Edition. (ISBN: 0304293687). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A clean and unmarked copy apart from a neat signature to front endpaper with a pictorial dustjacket which is prce clipped. The last novel by the author of 52 years standing who decided that this would be his last and who died soon after passing the proof. A wonderful story evoking the period of the 1910's, set in England's South Downs, which shows the author's ability to see into a child's mind and the depth of understanding of the battle between faith and agnosticism, a theme of many of his novels but none more so than here. A fitting and admirable last work. B2D. Very Good/Very Good.
