Thorofare is the name of the little winding street that runs through an old English town. But it becomes also a symbol of the westward instinct of the English-speaking race. ***The idea for the book came to the author in the early days of the war when British children were being sent to the States in large numbers. He found himself wondering what their experiences and observations would be. For the purposes of fiction he transferred this Americanizing experience to an earlier and kindlier time, when it could be undergone without the distortion of tragedy.' ***Christopher Morley is better known for his novel 'Kitty Foyle' published in 1939, which was made into an Academy Award-winning film. He was a prolific novelist and an enthusiastic reader of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, and wrote an introduction to the omnibus edition of the Sherlock Holmes Stories, and also founded 'The Baker Street Irregulars' - a group for Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts - in 1934. ***First impression of the true first edition, published during the Second World War, hard to find in its original 1940s dustwrapper in collectable condition. The plain dustwrapper has narrow foldovers due to war economy paper shortages, and the paper and boards are thin, the book being produced to authorized economy standards. Of interest to collectors of Christopher Morley and wartime 1940s first edition fiction titles. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
