Presentation copy to the poet Edmund Blunden. Inscribed and dated by the author in black ink to Edmund Blunden on front free endpaper, 'To Edmund Blunden / from / Sacheverell Sitwell / 15. viii. 33'.

Edmund Blunden (1896-1974), was an English poet, author and critic who, like his friend Siegfried Sassoon, wrote of his experiences in World War One. He served on the Western Front, in action at Ypres, the Somme, and Passchendaele, and was awarded the Military Cross in 1917.

First edition, inscribed by the author to Edmund Blunden; 8vo; wood-engraving to title page after Enid Lacey, unmarked internally; publisher's red cloth, silver lettering to spine, covers slightly marked, top edge silver, others uncut, fore-edge partly unopened, with the pictorial dust-jacket, slightly marked with edge nicks and a tear to front lower corner, with NPG tissue wrapping with printed label, overall a very good copy.
