SHUTE, Nevil. Requiem for a Wren. London: Heinemann. 1955. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s red cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the excellent wraparound dust jacket designed by Val Biro. A fine copy, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square, the contents clean and fine but for some light offsetting to endpapers. The dust jacket unclipped (12s 6d net) and complete without loss, just gently rubbed to corners and tips. A sharp and fresh copy.
The melancholic tale of a British woman riddled with guilt after mistakenly shooting down a plane carrying Polish refugees in World War Two.
