ALINGTON, Adrian. Ann & Aurelia: Some Chapters from the Lives of Two Friends. London: Chatto & Windus. 1934. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s yellow cloth lettered in red to the spine, in the delightful dust jacket which goes uncredited. A near fine copy. The cloth clean and bright with a singular brown mark to the spine lower portion. The binding tight and square, the contents clean and bright throughout. The dust jacket price-clipped, with a few very tiny nicks and bumps. A most pleasing copy.
The author’s fifth published book, about a successful actress and her less-than-fortunate lifetime friend—a friendship epic, then. Though their careers lead them to very different lives, they come together in old age, ‘a raddled old beauty and her homely companion’. Uncommon in such sharp condition.
