Nancy Mitford – The Radlett Trilogy – The Pursuit of Love/Love in a Cold Climate/Don’t Tell Alfred – All First Editions
£1,850.00
A set of first editions of Mitford’s masterpiece, The Radlett Trilogy. All three are first edition, first printings. Comprising: ‘The Pursuit of Love’: A near fine book with one neat name to the front endpaper – some tanning to the pages due to the cheap War Time paper used. In a very good unclipped which has benefitted from a neat restorative repair to the top of the spine. ‘Love In A Cold Climate’: A near fine book without inscriptions in a very good unclipped wrapper with shallow chipping to the head of the spine. Light loss to the corners and a little to the spine tail. Some creasing and a little soiling to the rear panel. ‘Don’t Tell Alfred’: A very good book without inscriptions, with staining to the bottom of the front board. In a very good square clipped wrapper which has some small losses to the corners.
The trilogy about an upper-class English family in the inter-war period focusing on the romantic life of Linda Radlett, as narrated by her cousin, Fanny Logan. Although a comedy, the story has tragic overtones.
