London, Secker and Warburg, 1946

Taxes included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Prints some of Orwell's key literary essays, including Charles Dickens, On The Art of Donald McGill and his remarkable IN Defence of P. G. Wodehouse. There are many, (and I am one) who consider Orwell to be the finest English journalist of his age and these pieces written in that context are amongst his best.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; publisher's red cloth, titles to upper board and spine gilt, with the dust jacket; page stock lightly toned as usual, spine lettering just beginning to oxidise as always but a very decent copy in the frayed and very slightly chipped and rubbed dust jacket with a light splash mark to the front panel.
