ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1937). 1937 1st edition. 8vo (126 x 192mm). Pp,319. Not illustrated. Printed on blue-washed paper. Brown cloth, spine titled in gilt. D/w price 8s. 6d. net. Slight stains to cloth, browning to edges but good-plus. Stains to frayed dust-wrapper. This book is an interesting anthology of Jefferies' work, assembled by Henry Williamson and provided by him with extensive commentary. Excerpts from nineteen of Jefferies' books are given, with a thumbnail sketch of each at the beginning. Williamson's purpose in assembling this book was to set down reasons and examples by which future generations could hold Jefferies in appropriately high regard. This book followed hot on the heels of Williamson's previous paean to Jefferies, his own reworking of Hodge and His Masters. More speculatively, this present book appeared while George Orwell was in Marrakesh, writing Coming Up For Air which itself could easily have been set off by reading this book, particularly pp9ff. Readers Coming Up For Air, and Jefferies' own books, will be aware of the irony of Jefferies being from just outside Swindon. Almost as informative about Williamson as about Jefferies, well worth a read. .

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. A new issue of Williamson's 1937 edit, with a new introduction (comprising rearranged passages from the original foreword combined with new text) plus some further fairly minimal structural revisions. 8vo. 340pp. Brown cloth lettered in gold at the spine. Top edge very lightly spotted. A very crisp copy in tanned dust wrapper, price-clipped and with a little loss to spine panel ends. Former owner name neatly inked to the front endpaper. Williamson's extensive revision of Jefferies novel (here sub-titled 'A Classic of English Farming') was not met with unanimous praise: chapters are moved around or omitted entirely, others are combined and most of the headings are altered (more so in this 1946 edition).
