MANHOOD, H. A. Sunday Bugles
MANHOOD, Harold Alfred. Sunday Bugles. London: Jonathan Cape. 1939. 8vo. First edition. Publisher's green cloth lettered in vibrant green to the spine and upper board, in the dust jacket. A very good copy, the cloth just a trifle marked but the binding tight and very gently rolled. The textblock edges a little spotted, but the contents fine but for mild crease to front endpaper. The dust jacket unclipped, a little rubbed at corners and edges, stain to centre of rear panel, else sharp.
Manhood's collection of quirky short stories ranging from vignettes of murderers and shipbuilders to friendships in a rural village. At the time of publication, his publishers Cape (and Viking in the US) agreed to pay Manhood a salary to continue writing--such was their belief they had what would become a household name a la Hemingway. By 1953, Manhood quit writing and opened his own cider brewery instead.
