Eve Garnett – The Family From One End Street – First Edition 1937
£150.00
A first edition, first printing published by Muller in 1937. A very good book with fading to the spine and some light stains to the board edges. One neat previous owner’s name to the front endpaper. No dust wrapper.
The book is a classic story of life in a big, happy family et in a small Sussex town in the south east of England. It was regarded as innovative and groundbreaking for its portrayal of a working-class family at a time when children’s books were dominated by stories about middle-class children.
In 1938, Garnett won the second annual Carnegie Medal awarded by the Library Association for The Family from One End Street, recognising the best children’s book by a British subject for the previous year. On the 70th anniversary of the Medal it was named one of the top ten winning works of the previous seventy years, selected by a panel from a public ballot to propose the all-time favourite.
