London: William Heinemann Ltd., 1957
Crown 8vo., original brick red publisher’s cloth, contrasting black painted label gilt to spine, with publisher’s name to foot; together in the unclipped pictorial dustwrapper (15s net to front flap) designed by Broom-Lynne; pp. [viii], 239, [i]; ever-so-slight splaying to boards; edges a little rubbed; previous owner’s bookplate (blank) to front paste-down; a couple of small pencil markings to prelims, otherwise a very good copy, in the dustwrapper which is a little darkened and creased to folds; some heavier creasing and short closed tears to head of spine; still very good.
First edition.
The fourth volume in the ‘Dance to the Music of Time’ series by Anthony Powell, which chronicles the life of Nicholas Jenkins and a further three hundred characters over the course of the twentieth century. At Lady Molly’s is one of the scarcer volumes in the set, particularly so in nice condition. Set during the 1930s, it follows Hitler’s rise to power, and the narrator’s experiences with marriage in his close circle, beginning with a party held at Lady Molly Jeavons. “You may find absolutely anybody at Aunt Molly's”, he writes.
A very nice example.
