Light foxing to first and last few pages. Slight wear and light soiling to spine, cover & corners. ; E. H. W. Meyerstein was an English writer and scholar.… He published two biographies, two plays, five novels and 15 books of poetry, including A Boy of Clare. Contains note from author to Gladys A. Thornton, whose 1928 work "A History of Clare" is quoted on page 15. Note reads "Dear Madam, A copy of this little book is due to you. I hope you will accept it. You will find your admirable history of Clare referred to on pg. 15, but it has helped me in many other places to reconstitute, in my own fashion, the ancient borough.

Slight foxing to top edge, slight wear to spine, covers and corners. ; 8vo; 98 pages; Author Signed by Author.
