No inscriptions within and exceptionally clean within the book. Inscribed on the title page ‘To Paul Gallico/with my good wishes/H. E Bates/1960’. Overall, this is a near fine copy.
The third in the series began by the 1958 novel The Darling Buds of May focusing on the Larkins, a family living in rural Kent. The title is a reference to William Blake’s poem Laughing Song.
