Barbara Pym – The Sweet Dove Died – First UK Edition 1978
£50.00
A first edition, first printing published by MacMillan in 1978. A near fine book marred only by some chipping to the first 16 pages of the text block. Some slight bumping to the spine tips. In a like, unclipped wrapper showing rubbing to the bottom of the spine.
The title is taken from a poem by John Keats. The novel, although moving away from her comedic tones, is regarded as Pym’s most mature work.
