About This Item
London : Macdonald & Co. (Publishers), (1952). First edition. An entertaining account of coming to London - and the perils and pitfalls of railway porters, private hotels, service flatlets, cab-drivers, digs, bed-sitting rooms, gas-rings, and all the hazards that may greet a young woman from the provinces (in this case Liverpool) - "Unless you intend coming in nothing but a fig leaf and a string of beads you will not expect your arrival in London to cause any sensation". Crown 8vo (20cm). 54,[ii]pp. Title-page and illustrations by Ronald Searle. Original red boards, lettered in black; some spotting of edges and prelims, but otherwise a very good copy in the original Searle dust-jacket - a pictorial design of bed-sit, sausages and fire-hazard - just lightly used and with a few spots, but also very good.
