BROOME, Dora M. Lancashire Tales
BROOME, Dora M. Lancashire Tales. London: George Allen & Unwin. 1949. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s green cloth lettered in black to the spine, in the striking F. Quilter dust jacket. A near fine copy, the cloth clean and bright, the spine head a trifle pushed. The binding tight and square, with some mild spots to top edge, minor. The contents fine without stamps or inscriptions. The dust jacket unclipped (7s 6d net), just gently bumped to the corners and spine tips, a trifle rubbed to joints, but a handsome copy.
A collection of short stories from the Lancashire writer, all of which had previously been broadcast. She wrote several stories on her native Lancashire, though none remain in print or common in jacket. The stories centre on the apparent heart-on-sleeve honesty of the Lancashire people—”the slow-thinking but strong-willed and independent working man” and their “philosophical acceptance of tragedy”.
