Head and tail of spine slightly creased. Head of spine also faded to brown where the dustwrapper is chipped. Lower edge of front board slightly bumped. Top edge of page block slightly darkened.

E. Shaw (Colonel Lawrence). ***"'He reveals himself as a man of sensibility and fortitude, and he writes always with such good taste that I do not think anyone reading his book could feel otherwise than that it is the work of a rare, fine spirit." - Sunday Times. ***"It is a good book, an unusual book, an exciting book." - Robert Graves (Quotes taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'"The Enormous Room" (The Green-Eyed Stores) is a 1922 autobiographical novel by the poet and novelist E. E. Cummings about his temporary imprisonment in France during World War One. Cummings spent over four months in prison. He met a number of interesting characters and had many picaresque adventures, which he compiled into "The Enormous Room". The book is written as a mix between Cummings' well-known unconventional grammar and diction and the witty voice of a young Harvard-educated intellectual in an absurd situation. The title of the book refers to the large room where Cummings slept beside thirty or so other prisoners. However, it also serves as an allegory for Cummings' mind and his memories of the prison - such that when he describes the many residents of his shared cell, they still live in the "enormous room" of his mind. F. Scott Fitzgerald extended praise to the book, saying "Of all the work by young men who have sprung up since 1920 one book survives - "The Enormous Room" by e e cummings. Those few who cause books to live have not been able to endure the thought of its mortality. (Wiki) ***The second UK edition of E. E. Cummings' autobiographical novel, in nice collectable condition. Quite an uncommon book, and copies in presentable and collectable condition in their original pre-war dustwrappers are hard to come by now. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
