Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. This is the 1959 reprint of "All the Day Long" by Welsh author Howard Spring, that was published in London by The Book Club. Spring was a serious, successful and very popular author, creating stories for both adults and children. The jacket blurb is brief and to the point : "Maria Legassick is the youngest of the three daughters of a Cornish vicar, and she tells the story of what happened in a swiftly-changing world to herself, her sisters, and her brilliant, gifted brother, Roger -- whom she loved too well; Louisa, whom she admired but could never love; Bella, whom she more and more despised. Beginning in a world that seems unchanging, the book moves into our own time, clouded with menace and anxiety, and it leaves Maria where she began -- back in her Cornish vicarage, with nothing left but her memories." Readers should find the novel thoroughly interesting and satisfying. Very nice that the book's dust-jacket is still present.

gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Gut. 510 pages, text in english, Gold embossing-back / 510 Seiten, Text auf englisch, Goldpräge-Rücken Howard Spring (10 February 1889 - 3 May 1965) was a Welsh author and journalist. He began his writing career as a journalist but from 1934 produced a series of best-selling novels. The most successful was Fame Is the Spur (1940), which has been both a major film starring Michael Redgrave and a BBC television series (1982) starring Tim Pigott-Smith and David Hayman. In 1931, after reporting on a political meeting at which Lord Beaverbrook was the speaker, Beaverbrook was so impressed by Spring's piece that he arranged for Spring to be offered a post with the Evening Standard in London, as a book reviewer. Spring described the offer as "irresistible", and the appointment proved very successful. At the same time, Spring was developing his ambitions as a writer; his first book, Darkie and Co., came out in 1932, followed by his first novel, Shabby Tiger, which was set in Manchester, published by William Collins, Sons in 1934. Shabby Tiger was adapted as a TV series and produced by Granada Television in 1973. It starred John Nolan as Nick and Prunella Gee as Anna, with Sharon Maughan making her TV debut as the glamorous and ambitious Rachel Rosing. A sequel to the novel followed a year later, Rachel Rosing (Collins, 1935). Both were published in the U.S. in 1936. The children's story Sampson's Circus, illustrated by Steven Spurrier and published by Faber & Faber in 1936, was one of two commended runners up for the Library Association's inaugural Carnegie Medal, recognising the year's outstanding contribution to children's literature by a British subject.His first major success in the adult market came with My Son, My Son! (1937), originally titled O Absalom, which was very successful in America and was adapted there as a 1940 film of the same name. It was adapted for television by the BBC in 1977. It is his most translated work; WorldCat libraries report editions in Chinese and six other languages.Howard Spring died of a stroke. In 1967, his widow Marion Howard Spring wrote an affectionate story of their life together called 'Howard', with a foreword by A. L. Rowse, published by Collins.

Living in a vicarage overlooking the sea in Cornwall, Maria is the observer who tells of the dour father writing ecclesiastical books which were never read; the passionate Louisa, impatient to break free and change the world; Roger aspiring to an academic career; indolent Bella, demanding little from life; and the outspoken, rustic sexton, Thomas May. The book comes full circle from the apparently unchanging world, moving into modern times, and ends with Maria where she began, with only her memories remaining. *** Quantity Available: 1.
