About This Item
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1935. Hardcover. pp. 338. 8vo. Bound in original green cloth with copper-coloured lettering. The book we are offering has a slight spine slant and a touch of discoloration to the outer edge of the front board. Faint former owner's name to top of front free endpaper. Erasure mark to rear pastedown. Binding tight. Contents unmarked. The dust jacket is torn and creased but virtually totally intact save for some small loss to the seam of a close tear at the top. It shows some scuffing with wear to the hinges. Two small red smudges to rear panel. Still in fair to good condition and now seldom seen. Top edge not stained green as stipulated by Lechowick, 'A Collector's Guide to L. M. Montgomery First Editions' (p. 113), but ten titles listed verso title page. Spadoni & Donnelly 1154 note that there are several apparent variants of the first edition, albeit later printings, as they bear a coloured frontispiece. Our copy does not have a frontispiece. However, it does have the publisher's original dust jacket, similar in appearance to that shown in 'Editions & Impressions / Collectors and Their Love of the Works of L. M. Montgomery' (which is the jacket for the first American edition).
Synopsis
Mistress Pat (1935) is a novel written by L. M. Montgomery. It is the sequel to Pat of Silver Bush, and describes Patricia Gardiner's life in her twenties and early thirties, during which she remained single and took care of her beloved home, Silver Bush. Pat hated changes as much as ever, and found in Silver Bush a refuge where she was shielded from them, but changes happened nevertheless.
