TRAILL, Peter. The White Hen
TRIALL, Peter [MORTON, Guy Mainwaring]. The White Hen. London: Faber and Gwyer. 1927. 8vo. First edition. Publisher's green cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the fabulous dust jacket designed by Ralph Keene. A very good copy, the cloth darkened and marked, more so to spine, the binding tight and square, the textblock a little spotted. The contents largely fine, with light offsetting to endpapers and prelims a trifle spotted. The dust jacket priced 7/6 net to spine, corners neatly cut, the spine darkened, with several small nicks, chips and loss around the spine head and tail, some corners, joints rubbed, with several neat tape repairs to verso, particularly to spine and rear panel joint, but the front panel especially exquisite.
A handsome copy of the author's fourth published work, writing under the Traill pseudonym. Morton predominantly wrote well-received crime novels. This novel stoically considers the changing attitudes of women; past, present, future, in accordance with the inheritance of decadent Moberley Hall, "a book every woman should read", the front flap insists. Scarce.
