YOUNG, Francis Brett. Portrait of Clare. London: Heinemann. 1927. Thick 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s green cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the wonderful dust jacket which goes uncredited. A very smart, near fine copy. The cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square despite the weight and size of this 900-page behemoth. The dust jacket priced 15/- to spine, complete and very attractive, just gently bumped to some corners and edges.

The author’s gentle romantic saga set in a series of fictionalised West Midlands villages which, together with a string of other novels, form the Mercian novels a la Trollope’s Barsetshire or Hardy’s Wessex. The novel itself was a commercial and critical hit, winning the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and later produced for the screen by Leslie Landau. Uncommon.
