BENEATH THE WHITE LION. A Story in Tuscany.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original burgundy cloth with white titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm and the cloth bright and fresh. The contents with a previous owner's bookplate and shelf stamp to the front pasedown and his inscription and date at the head of the title page are otherwise clean throughout. The top edge of the closed text block is spotted. Publisher's catalogue dated Summer 1935 at the rear. Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper that is otherwise without fading, loss or tears. Correctly priced 7/6 net to the spine. A scarce title.

The author's first work of fiction, shortly followed by "The Champagne Mystery" written under the pseudonym Guy Garston (published by Muller, 1935).
