Six first editions of The Romantic Novels of Barbara Cartland all with her signed presentation inscription, in red ink to the front free endpaper or pastedown, to her neighbour Susie Walduck. Some are simply signed 'Love Barbara Cartland' and dated.
First editions thus, first impressions, inscribed by the author; 6 vols, 8vo; frontispieces, Cartland's facsimile signature on titles, unused private library labels in each volume, marginal toning to leaves, otherwise unmarked internally; publisher's red leatherette boards, gilt letting to spines and front covers, gilt device to front covers, corners slightly rubbed, overall a very good set.
