Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Fourth Impression. Hardcover Price Clipped label on fep A Thread in the Tapestry Sarah Churchill has framed her story within a solemn and melancholy occasion - her father's funeral procession - but as her mind turns back to the past, melancholy lifts. She is remembering not the whole of Sir Winston Churchill's life, nor the whole of her own; rather she is evoking the essence of what it was to be his daughter. Childhood at Chartwell, her father's often enchanting and sometimes formidable ways with his children, the famous people who came to the house, the splendid talk: all this is recalled. Then came the time when Sarah, choosing acting as her career, broke away from the conventions of her background and thus imposed something of a test on the family bond. She tells honestly and simply of her father's wisdom and kindness at this time, and goes on to two occasions when their continuing closeness took her on excursions into history: she accompanied him to both the Teheran and the Yalta Conferences, and gives delightful accounts of what they were like 'back-stage'. But perhaps the most illuminating and moving part of her story is her discription of the holiday she spent with Sir Winston Churchill on Lake Como after his defeat in the General Election of 1945, for which she calls on hitherto unpublished letters. Although Sarah Churchill claims to contribute no more than a 'thread' to the great tapestry of her father's life and her family history, that thread adds colour without which the whole would be incomplete. Many readers will value her book above more formal records. Illustrated with photographs and reproductions of paintings in full colour (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback.

First edition. 8vo. Original brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt,dust jacket. London, Andre Deutsch. Boldly inscribed by the author to Grace Hamblin OBE (1908-2002), the longest-serving member of Winston S. Churchill?s secretarial staff, in blue pencil to the front free endpaper: 'For dear 'Hambone' with love from Sarah. London May. 1967.' Hamblin originally served as a junior secretary to Churchill from 1932-1937 during the so-called ?Wilderness Years?, then acting as Clementine Churchill?s assistant from 1939-1945, accompanying Clementine on her post-war tour of red cross hospitals in the Soviet Union. After the war, Hamblin was appointed secretary and administrator at Chartwell, continuing in her role as Chartwell's first Curator after the house became a National Trust property in 1966. In 1965, Hamblin was one of the very few non-family members invited to attend Churchill's burial service at St Martin's Church, Bladon. ?Grace Hamblin died in 2002, aged ninety-four. She had spent seventy of those years working with the Churchills and strengthening and promoting their memory, the longest-serving member of Churchill?s secretarial staff? (Stelzer, Working with Winston, p. 45). Hamblin earned some posthumous notoriety when her apparent role in the suppression of Graham Sutherland's controversial portrait of Churchill was revealed.  A touching memoir by Churchill's second daughter, the performing artist Sarah Churchill (1914-1982), 'a slight but vivid memoir of her father based on her original letters' (Churchill Archives Centre). A very good copy overall, jacket slightly rubbed and edge worn.
