First edition.
Condition: VG
The second volume of Osbert Sitwell’s remarkable autobiographical sequence Left Hand, Right Hand! - a five-part memoir by one of the famously eccentric Sitwell siblings and a leading British man of letters.
Rather than a tidy, chronological account, Left Hand, Right Hand! reads like a richly furnished room you wander through, picking up objects at random - each one triggering a story, a reflection or a sharply observed character sketch. And together serving as an amazing insight into the texture, oddities and rigid social codes of behaviour of late Victorian and Edwardian aristocratic life.
In very good condition with original dust jacket. The jacket shows light wear, including minor tears and some toning, but remains intact and presentable. The volume itself is in excellent condition - clean, bright and free from inscriptions or markings.
