Tales Out of School

Offering this scarce vintage copy of "Tales Out of School," an anthology of historical reminiscences from West Buckland School in Devon, England. Compiled by the celebrated English novelist and playwright R.F. Delderfield, who attended the school himself and used it as the inspiration for his book "To Serve Them All My Days," which was adapted into a TV miniseries. Cornwall: H.E. Warne Ltd, 1963. Red stiff paper covers with b/w photo pastedown on front, stamped gilt lettering, photo illustrations in b/w, size 8.5x5.5 inches, pp. 79. Overall condition is Very Good. Binding is secure, mild wear to cover, gilt is dulled and there's a tiny chip on the photo pastedown at the bottom edge (see picture). Mild age toning to text block, else pages are free and clear of any writing, creases or tears. A nice early & foundational publication by this author! [B3].
