Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Jacket by Norman Wilkinson of Four Oaks, illustrations by Heather Corlass (illustrator). Reprint. First published in May 1919, this is an umpteenth impression of 1957. Some edge wear, chipping and small loss to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners rubbed with small loss, price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg copy for its age. 64pp. Daisy Ashford (1881-1972), wrote 'The Young Visiters' when she was only nine years old and the book (and title) retains her childish spelling. Its child's view of high society (dukes and earls having 'levies' and residing in the 'Crystall Palace') and its heavily romantic plot make it an engaging and enduring popular work. When published in 1919, it was an immediate success, and several of her other stories were published in 1920. In the same year, she married James Devlin and settled in Norfolk, at one time running the King's Arms Hotel in Reepham. She did not write in later years, although in old age she did begin an autobiography which she later destroyed. She died in 1972.
