"sitting in the kitchen sink"


First edition. 182x120mm. pp. [4], 338. Illustrated with engravings by Ruth Steed from drawings by Dodie Smith herself. Blue cloth decorated and lettered in gilt.

Internally, there is foxing, heavier in one or two places but overall a very good copy of an ever-popular comedy-romance-coming of age novel written "sitting in the kitchen sink".
