GRYNBERG, Henryk. Child of the Shadows. Trans. from the Polish by Celina Wieniewska. London: Vallentine, Mitchell. 1969. 8vo. First British edition. Publisher’s red cloth lettered in white to the spine, in the dust jacket. A very good or better copy, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square. Some faint spots to the textblock edges, the same to endpapers, though the contents otherwise clean. Signed by the translator to Scottish author and former SOE agent, Bruce Marshall. The dust jacket unclipped and generally fine, with a few mild marks and rubbing only.
The author’s second work to be published in Britain and first novel, based on his own experiences in Nazi-occupied Poland, at first surviving in the forests with his Jewish parents, and later, when he and his mother battled for survival in the underground Warsaw circles.
