CALVERT, W. R. Sorrowstones. London and New York: Putnam. 1930. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s black cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by John Morton Sale. The book generally clean, slight tape ghosting to rear board upper, else clean, the binding tight and square, the contents mostly fine but for contemporary ink previous owner inscription to front endpaper and some waviness to the top corner here, with abrasion to front pastedown from, presumably, an old bookplate. Light marks elsewhere but often fine. The dust jacket priced 7/6 net to the spine panel, several chips to corners, tips and some edges, and with quite extensive adhesive tape repairs to verso, the panels consequently rather wavy and rubbed to most joints. Nevertheless scarce in the jacket in any condition.
The author’s first novel after his successful books on the Cumberland countryside. This debut follows Beth, the young daughter of a lonely fell farm, Sorrowstones, and her trials and tribulations into adulthood.
