Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [lightly shelfworn, some age-toning to edges of text block, some spotting on upper section of fore-edge, hinges are intact but feel a little weak]. "Wittily portrays the modern scene, focusing its attention on a small group of highly entertaining characters and ign…oring, happily, any questions of social reform." (Quoted from the dust jacket of another copy; this copy of the book has NO dust jacket.) The New York Times reviewer opined that "its story of a Summer's romance is told in an engaging style that sparkles with teasing and half-complete literary and non-literary illusions. [I think she meant "allusions," but who am I to quibble with The New York Times?] Its conversations are the natural talk of intelligent, eccentric, rather balmy and pleasant people." She added that the story's humor is "not so jolly as Angela Thirkell's nor so acid as Dawn Powell's but a very enjoyable brand that can be highly recommended." Ms. Halsted wrote for the popular magazines of the day, and published four novels in a quick burst between 1938 and 1943, all of which were generally well-reviewed -- then vanished from the literary scene (to extent that she was ever really on it). All her novels, for whatever reason, are fairly scarce.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Very Good+ dj. First Edition. [nice copy, a touch of dust-soiling to top of text block, slight wear at base of spine; jacket lightly soiled, a tiny bit of paper loss at top of spine]. This novel "wittily portrays the modern scene, focusing its attention on a small group of highly entertaining ch…aracters and ignoring, happily, any questions of social reform."

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Very Good+ dj. First Edition. [nice clean copy, just a touch of shelfwear to bottom edge; jacket shows a little wear at spine ends, but overall is clean and attractive]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the ffep. "Camilla was the sort of girl whom other people are constantly worrying about a…nd constantly trying to improve. Camilla didn't have much use for the things her respectable suburban friends thought and did. Yet she wasn't a rebel, she was just vague -- and she liked what she liked in her quiet way." The New York Times critic praised it as "more original, better written and altogether much more amusing than either the title or the blurb suggest." Ms. Halsted wrote four novels, all in a spurt between 1938 and 1943; the rest was silence, except for a handful of short stories published in various magazines. Signed by Author.
