I will be bringing many hard-to-find works by female authors to the Bath book fair including this, Kathleen Farrell's first book. She was an influential and multi-talented woman and went on to write five novels for Macmillan. She founded a literary agency and lived in Flask Walk with Kay Dick, 'the first woman director in British publishing.' The couple were very well-connected and Farrell was known for her encouragement for up-and-coming authors. This copy is signed by the illustrator, George Imberger. He came to England with his wife from Germany and was interned until 1940.
