Description: First edition, first impression. This copy comes from the library of E. M. Forster, with his crossed-out ink ownership to the front free endpaper. This copy was later gifted by Forster to his friend Eric Fletcher, who had met him when he was an undergraduate at King's College between 1945 and 1948. The 68 year old Forster was, by then, firmly settled into Cambridge college life, living the life of a traditional bachelor don, ".he was looked after; he was among friends; he knew the way of life and loved the city and it's buildings. and at his age it was convenient" (Furbank), and modestly put up with his great fame, finding his enormous daily post a nuisance but enjoying a stream of visitors, many of them young men who looked on him as a mentor or sage. One of these young men was Eric Fletcher. They immediately struck up a warm friendship and embarked on a correspondence of "several hundred letters of gossip, affection and advice" (Furbank) which would continue until Forster's death. P.N. Furbank, E M Forster: A Life, vol.2, 1978, pp. 277-8. Octavo. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt, top edge red. Corners a trifle bumped, the binding otherwise sound and clean, very occasional faint spotting, else internally fresh; a very good copy indeed.
