A near fine copy of the second impression of February 1926, in original boards, with paper title label to spine. Spare label to rear of book. Very nicely signed by the author dated 1972 on the fep. A twentieth century literary classic. Lolly Willowes is a twenty-eight-year-old spinster when her adored father dies, leaving her dependent upon her brothers and their wives. After twenty years of self-effacement as a maiden aunt, she decides to break free and moves to a small Bedfordshire village.
