GROGEY'S PATCH
Three Reigns by Sir Frederick Ponsonby 1952 Hardcover
With notes and an introductory memoir by Colin Welch. At the time of his death in October 1935, Lord Sysonby, longer and better known as Sir Frederick Ponsonby, had been Keeper of The Privy Purse to King George VI for twenty-one years and Treasury to King George V for fifteen years. He had spent in all more than forty years in service at Court; his experience was unique and his passing was comparable to that of an institution.
Sir Frederick stipulated that his reminiscences were not to be published until the last of Queen Victoria's children had died.
Good to very good condition with wear & discolouration as shown. Bindings are intact & tight. Bright & clean cloth boards with clear & crisp lettering. No dust jacket. Shelf wear to edges. Photographs are of the actual book you will receive.. The condition of vintage & antique recycled books is often subjective to individuals and occasionally small marks or issues may be missed. I provide plenty of quality photos because they say a picture paints a thousand words. Please check these photos carefully as they form part of this description and can describe this item far better than any blurb I might write.
