I Met a Lady, a Novel by Howard Spring, 1962 English Book Club Edition, Hardcover Format with Dust-Jacket. Welsh Author.

This is the 1962 reprint of "I Met a Lady" by Welsh author Howard Spring, that was published in London by the Book Club. Spring was a serious, but successful and very popular author, creating stories for both adults and children. The jacket blurb is brief and to the point : "When he was a schoolboy George Ledra watched the recruits of World War I marching through the Manchester streets. His account of his own life, which makes this novel, concludes with the ending of the second war. This is a stretch of time that Howard Spring has often written about -- a slice of his own days; and how people fared in the swiftly-changing political and social scene of those three decades fascinates him." Readers should find the novel thoroughly satisfying. Very nice that the book's dust-jacket is still present.
