BONNAR, Robert. Stewartie
BONNAR, Robert. Stewartie. London: Lawrence & Wishart. 1964. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s burgundy cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the striking dust jacket, uncredited. A fine copy, the cloth clean and bright, the contents fine. The dust jacket unclipped (21s net) and fine but for a couple of tiny nicks to extremities, rear panel a trifle marked but very presentable.
Seemingly the only novel by the Dunfermline trade unionist and railwayman. The story concerns a young cleaner and firer of railway engines and his desire for the daughter of one of the higher-ups in the Local Committee who likes to have everything his own way. Presumably somewhat autobiographical, much of Bonnar’s family emigrated to Canada, some making a name for themselves, but Robert spent his entire life in and around the people and the place he evidently admired. Rather scarce.
