About this Item

First edition pulished by G.A. Blunden in 1930 and one of only 250 copies. This is a near fine copy. The paper covered boards are in clean condition with just the odd mark.

This one has been signed by the author Edmund Blunden on the front free end paper to prolific true crime author W.N. Roughead. The inscription reads 'W.N. Roughead with E Blunden's regards June 27, 1931'. William Roughead was an early practitioner in the 'true crime' genre and wrote many on the subject including about grave robbers Burke and Hare. He was a Lawyer and would attend trials as research for his works. Blundens factual account of life in the trenches in the great war as a follow on to his classic biography Undertones of War. A scarce title to find with this inscription between the two authors.   . Seller Inventory # 003129
