256pp - 1st Ed. This book is the second in the trilogy which began years earlier with Hard Facts . The books recount the story of the eponymous character, Daniel Dunkerley, printer and entrepreneur and Alec Dillworth, would-be poet. He explained the delay in writing this volume was due to WWII, during which time he found "writing fiction was [not] easy".
[Robert] Howard Spring (most famed, perhaps for O Absalom! (later My Son, My Son! )) was born in Cardiff, South Wales in 1889, according to the Book for all Reasons web site. He left school at 12 years old to work as an errand boy at a butcher's shop, a job he hated. He later became messenger boy at the South Wales Daily News where he taught himself shorthand and attended night school to improve his education.
Cover (red cloth with gilt titles to spine) is slightly edgeworn and very slightly soiled. Text block is immaculate except for inked owner's name and date on FEP.
