A small tear on the back of the dust jacket, also some very small tears along the top edge (please refer to images). Otherwise, the book is in original condition as when published. Carefully stored, the dust jacket is clean and free from marks. Pink binding and lettering along the spine remains mint. Pages are as new, clean and tightly bound, and have never been thumbed or opened. First edition. Featuring illustrations from Vertes, this is certainly a collectors item ? especially in such fine condition. Sundays: A Fantasy is Daisy Fellowes's light, satirical novel that drifts through a series of whimsical, loosely connected episodes centred on fashionable society figures whiling away their Sundays in idle amusements, romantic entanglements, and airy conversations. Less a traditional narrative than a playful social tableau, it captures the charm, ennui, and self-invented dramas of the European haute monde between the wars. With a tone that is arch, frivolous, and knowingly detached, the book offers a wry portrait of a world devoted to elegance, distraction, and the gentle art of not taking life too seriously.

Original pink boards, spine lettered in gilt, illustrated endpapers. With dust jacket. Ownership inscription of one Gillian Ardizzone on front free endpaper.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. FELLOWES, Daisy [115] pp. Weidenfeld and Nicolson 1960 8 1/4" x 5 3/4" w/ illustrations by Vertes Daisy Fellowes (née Marguerite Séverine Philippine Decazes de Glücksberg; 29 April 1890 13 December 1962) was a prominent French socialite, acclaimed beauty, minor novelist and poet, Paris editor of American Harper's Bazaar, fashion icon, and an heiress to the Singer sewing machine fortune. Fellowes wrote several novels and at least one epic poem. Her best-known work is Les dimanches de la comtesse de Narbonne (1931, published in English as "Sundays"). She also wrote the novel Cats in the Isle of Man. Among Fellowes's lovers was Duff Cooper, the British ambassador to France. She also attempted to seduce Winston Churchill, but failed, shortly before marrying his cousin Reginald Fellowes. She was known as one of the most daring fashion plates of the 20th century, arguably the most important patron of the surrealist couturier Elsa Schiaparelli. She was also a friend of the jeweller Suzanne Belperron, and she was a longtime customer of the jeweller Cartier. Seller Inventory # 17014
