About this Item

Dust jacket complete, unclipped, now in clear protective sleeve, small closed tear. Original cloth boards with bright titling on spine. No ownership marks. Frontis portrait photographs. 256 pages clean and tight. THE intimate and engaging account of the years during which Mr. Reginald Pound edited The Strand Magazine, introduces the reader to many noted people of yesterday and today--writers, actors, artists, politicians and statesmen. In reminiscences that are often unexpected and always kindly. we meet his friends "off parade" and share with the author that blend of the important and the trivial of which all convincing conversation is composed. From his office off the Strand, Mr. Pound also comments on the history of this famous thoroughfare, and we are taken into the byways of the City as well as into the country, where his magazine was evacuated during the worst phase of the war. Here "the man of Sussex" is revealed, for the author is a countryman to the core besides being one of the leading journalists of today. A very wide public will savour this warm-hearted commentary on our times. Size: 8vo.
