Octavo. viii, (iv), 132pp. The "Birthday Edition." Illustrations by Brock throughout head each chapter and appear as full-page plates. Hilton's novella of a schoolteacher gone sentimental, but no less influential, was adapted by MGM Studios into a Robert Donat-Greer Garson vehicle and remade in 1969 with Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark. Bound in brown paper over boards backed in white with gilt titling to spine. Slight soiling to margins of spine where a reader pulls the volume from its slipcase, slipcase itself mildly soiled and toned, else near fine and partially unopened.
