Description

8vo., First Edition thus, on laid paper; handsomely bound in full dark green crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt, gilt top, hand-made endpapers, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. 'One of the bitterest war novels that has been written, yet strangely enough the actual scene of war is less horrible in its pages than comfortable England of the days before' (Falls). One of the essential novels of the Great War, albeit presented here with the expurgated text. Falls, 261; Kershaw, 52.
