HENRY WILLIAMSON : Love and the Loveless. A Soldier's Tale. Volume seven of 'A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight'. (ASSOCIATION COPY)

Macdonald, London, 1984

A reprint of the first edition, issued by Macdonald as part of a uniform re-issue of the first edition text. This copy is from the library of Douglas Jordan, who as a seventeen-year-old was employed by Williamson at Old Hall Farm and proved to be an exceptional cowman. Jordan was known affectionately as 'Lump' to the family and appeared in the Chronicle novels as "Ackers". He has inked his name "Douglas (Ackers) Jordan of the Norfolk Farm" to the head of the front free endpaper. Williamson re-met Jordan in the early 1970s, some thirty years after originally hiring him, whilst filming scenes for David Cobham's film 'The Vanishing Hedgerows' and penned a brief but glowing diary entry about the reunion. 8vo. viii, 384pp. Blue boards lettered in gold at the spine. The merest hint of tanning to the leaf margins, else a fine copy in virtually fine dust wrapper, clipped and re-priced by the publisher, and with just a touch of fading to the spine panel colouring. A nice association copy. "The memories we treasure of Henry and his Norfolk Farm we hold dearly to our hearts and when someone mentions Henry Williamson we say with pride, yes I worked with him on his Norfolk farm" - Douglas Jordan, writing in 'The Henry Williamson Society Journal'.. Book. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Near Fine
