Hint of toning on endpapers else internally neat, clean, bright and tight. H G Well's too often neglected novel, Meanwhile - The Picture of a Lady [1927], makes reference to Sinclair's work, using it to further Wells' idea of a world republic. Philip, in his first letter, says: "I have just happened upon a little book called Easingden by a man named Sinclair and it gives a flat, straightforward account of the life of a miner. I half suspect some connexion between Easingden and Edensoke. I am going to send it to you. When you read it, you will agree with me that it is intolerable to think of Englishmen?many of whom fought in the Great War to save me and you among others from the Hun?having to go a single step lower than that cramped, sordid, hopeless drudgery. [H G Wells source book.] This first edition was published by the author in 1926. The novel was later published by Mills and Boon. Both editions remain very hard to find.

Appears scarce.The book is mentioned in H.G.Wells' book "Meanwhile - The Picture of a Lady". "If I had to live like a miner I should say the same. I d rather die than come down below the present level. I have just happened upon a little book called Easingden by a man named Sinclair and it gives a flat, straightforward account of the life of a miner. I half suspect some connexion between Easingden and Edensoke, but never mind that. No frills about his story and to the best of my knowledge and belief dead true. It s a grimy nightmare of a life. I am going to send it to you. When you read it, you will agree with me that it is intolerable to think of Englishmen many of whom fought in the Great War to save me and you among others from the Hun having to go a single step lower than that cramped, sordid, hopeless drudgery.".
