Signed and dedicated by Norah Lofts to the ffep, "For dear Mrs Orpen, with love and best wishes from Norah. November 1958"
A collection of sixteen short stories from Norah Lofts that vary in mood and subject. Many are set in England, past and present; others in the Far East, and one in Africa. They include "All That is Necessary" which tells of a woman who, presumably, is running a good home for old ladies; and "The Black Christ of Alderward" which is a frightening tour de force about a painter and his model.
Condition
The book is in very good condition, with some light foxing to the fore-edge of the upper board. The dustwrapper is slightly tanned to the joints with light chipping to the edges but has not been price-clipped and is now within a protective sleeve.
