First Edition (first printing) of the author's second book and first novel - a modernist Great War story, which has only semi-recently been lavished with the praise it deserved almost one hundred years ago. Crown 8vo. 188pp + [iv] publisher's advertisements. Green cloth, lettered, ruled and bordered in black at the spine and upper board. The front free endpaper absent, and with some uneven toning to the half-title, which now serves as the free endpaper. Top edge dust soiled. The backstrip ends and corner tips a little rubbed and bruised, and with an area of residue (?) marking to the upper board. Edges lightly spotted, encroaching just a fraction to occasional leaf margins. A good copy, in all surprisingly well preserved. The novel recounts the traumatic return of the shell stocked protagonist Captain Chris Baldry from the trenches of the Western Front, told from the perspective of his cousin Jenny. Uncommon.. Book.
