COME TO AN END AND OTHER STORIES

First edition, first printing of the author's first short story collection. Publisher's original dark green cloth with turquoise titles to the spine, in the A. E. Barlow designed dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding firm with a little softening at the spine tips. The cloth is fresh with a single small mark to the bottom of the upper board. The contents with light spotting to the prelims and toning to the text block edge are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very good rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has a couple of short closed tears and some dustiness to the rear panel. Not price-clipped (7s 6d net to the front flap).

Best known as a poet who achieved popularity during the 1950s, Frances Bellerby was also the author of two novels and three story collections. This, her first short story collection is scarce.
