MACKEN, Walter. The Green Hills and Other Stories
MACKEN, Walter. The Green Hills and Other Stories. London: Macmillan. 1956. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s green cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the wonderful dust jacket designed by David Chalmers. A near fine copy, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square, the cloth tips a trifle pushed. The contents fine but for a little offsetting to endpapers. The dust jacket unclipped (12s 6d net) and complete, with a few shallow chips and rubbing to corners, spine tips and some edges, the spine a touch darkened with light marks to rear panel. A sharp copy overall.
A collection of 21 short stories by the Irish author. Macken is perhaps best remembered as a highly-regarded actor on the National Theatre circuit. His marriage to Peggy Kenny, prodigious daughter of Tom ‘Cork’ Kenny and one of the richest women in Ireland, caused uproar and scandal in the upper classes, and her father never spoke to Peggy again.
