About This Item
London: Duckworth & Company. Very Good with no Dust Jacket. 1911. Hardcover. Tissued plates tipped in, small crease bottom corner of first one (tissue only, not plate). Tissue still present with "my road" printed on it. New (1911) edition, reset (first edition published in February 1902) . A devotional country book, written very to early Edwardian taste, clearly touched a melancholy nerve and achieved popular classic status. When the book was published there was a great mystery surrounding who Michael Fairless was, and what locale did he describe with such love. The place was West Sussex-the Adur Valley, and Michael Fairless turned out to be a woman--Margaret Barber Fairless. Today's reader says: "A short and sweet reminder of what is real and what is important in life. It was written over a hundred years ago, but is still highly relevant." Corners bumped, top edge gilt worn. Previous owner's name. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 121 pages; 12070 .
