About This Item
New York:: St Martin's,, (1988.). Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a like dustjacket (an unread copy, but with some slight signs of shelfwear.). First printing. A biography which focuses on the last years of London's life: 1903 he left his wife and two young daughters for Charmian Kittredge, a woman five years his senior but a spirited woman who was in many ways his soul-mate: she took part in his adventures, acted as his editor and transcriber and contributed to his accomplishments. After his death at age forty in 1916 Charmian (1871-1955) spent the rest of her lifetime devoted to keeping his reputation alive. This book draws heavily on Charmian's diaries and personal photographs. Notes, bibliography, index. xiii, 362 pp plus a 16 page insert of black and white photographs.
