First edition of early Murodch novel featuring one of her finest comic creations, Adelaide the Maid …
Hardback, around five inches by more than 7.5 tall, creations its original dust jacket, worn but unclipped, over its publisher's original, slightly worn, purple boards, with titling to the back-strip protecting the spine in original gilt.
First edition published by Chatto, London, in 1969. Free from prior ownership inscriptions and permanent markings to the text.
Although interior condition is overall good, because this original letterpress book is old, it may display minor signs of use and age — such as the usual discolouration to old paper — consistent with a printed object of this vintage. All 293 pp main text are complete and otherwise correct.
