No More Parades, 1926. First edition, first impression. The third volume of Ford's Parade's End tetralogy, considered the climax of the series. It opens on Armistice Day 1918, in Valentine Wannop"s school, punctuated by fireworks exploding and the celebrations taking place in the surrounding streets. Ladies Whose Bright Eyes, 1931.

Mr. Sorrell finds himself in the Middle Ages and makes a very half-hearted attempt to build modern weaponry. When the Wicked Man, 1932. First UK edition, with the first US in 1931. A fictionalised account based on the author's extramarital affair and breakup with Jean Rhys. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and bumping to the extremities.

Pages are very bright with the odd small spot or handling mark. Light age toning to the endpapers. Previous owner's bookplate to the front pastedown of No More Parades and the rear pastedown of When the Wicked Man. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
