First edition, first impression of the second and final book by the author of cult classic The Peregrine.
While Baker's more widely known first book was an account of tracking peregrine falcons across the wintry landscape of Essex, The Hill of Summer vividly recounts 'a green English summer in all weathers and for all wild things: floating down a tree-shaded river in July, wandering all night through woods and fields, waiting beside a cornfield at noon, in a beech copse, on an estuary, always looking, listening, and alone' (jacket blurb).
First edition, first impression; 8vo; contents fresh; original blue boards, titles to spine gilt, yellow coated endpapers, very lightly rubbed at the extremities, a very good copy in the jacket that is a little rubbed with two short splits to the upper panel and some scratches and bumps to the lower and spine panels, production flaw crease affecting the front flap; 159pp.
