I have here for sale a book entitled KING EDWARD VII: AN APPRECIATION by E. F. Benson, published by Longmans, Green & Co., in London in 1933. This is the First Edition. Benson writes about the life of King Edward VII, includes a b/w frontispiece portrait of the man himself.
Edward Frederic Benson OBE (24 July 1867 – 29 February 1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, historian and short story writer. Benson was a precocious and prolific writer. His first book was Sketches from Marlborough, published while he was a student. He started his novel-writing career with the (then) fashionably controversial Dodo (1893), which was an instant success, and followed it with a variety of satire and romantic and supernatural melodrama.
Burgundy cloth hardboards with gilt lettering to spine. Faded/sunned spine. Some discolouration/marks to spine and boards. Chipped to lower corner of front board. Also chipped to head and tail. Some scratches to spine and back board. Light foxing throughout and to page edges. Binding generally tight. Very good condition. Ownership bookplate of the Earl of Middleton to front pastedown and pencil annotation to prelim. 304 pages, including an index. 24 cm x 16.5 cm.
We have been lucky and have acquired a wonderful library of EF Benson books. They will all be going on Ebay over the next few weeks, but if you want to ask us anything about them please just send a message.
