Charming literary essays about Sahar Orne Jewett, Thomas Mann, Katherine Mansfield and a friendship with the Niece of Flaubert. A nice copy in pale green cloth, a tiny bit faded on the spine but not the edges. The dust jacket ISS faded on the spine, but has no edge wear except the top of the spine. Not price clipped, and now protected in a clear, mylar sleeve. Inside, very clean and tight with no prior owner marks.
