"So uncertain was he of the wisdom of this move that he elected to publish MFHM anonymously. It is in effect the autobiography of his early years, but is presented in the form of a novel, with false names being given to the central characters, including Sassoon himself, who appears as "George Sherston", and his mother ("Aunt Evelyn")."

Covers are bright red cloth with black titles to sunned spine and are lightly soiled with bumped corners. Other than an inked prior-owner's signature to FEP, the textblock is immaculate.
