The first edition, first impression with no further impressions stated. Very scarce in all editions.

Best known for 'The Chinese Garden' and her dragon series of children’s novels, this autobiographical work includes an honest reflection on her attempted suicide, and the success of her subsequent novel 'The Chinese Garden', an important work of British lesbian fiction.
In the original cloth binding in the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally in excellent condition with just slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Dust wrapper is in excellent condition, with shelf wear to the extremities, including slight chipping and the occasional closed tear, slightly worse to head of spine. Sunning to spine. The odd light handling mark to wrap. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean.
Grading: FINE in a VERY GOOD INDEED dust wrapper.
