Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good dj. Illustrated by (dj design) John Gincano (illustrator). 1st (U.S.) edition. [moderate wear at all corners, very slight fraying to cloth at bottom corners, very light foxing to page edges; jacket worn and soiled, with a few small tears, and a very amateurish tape-repair along the top edge (including a shallow chip at top of rear panel replaced with a piece of white paper, like nobody'd ever notice THAT)]. A sequel to the author's 1929 novel "Duchess Laura, Certain Days of Her Life" (published in the U.S. as "The Duchess Intervenes"), recounting more "episodes and adventures of the Duchess of Richborough, affectionately known as Duchess Laura." Contemporary rather than historical fiction, its protagonist is, in the author's words, "not the highly coloured romanticized type familiar to sensational fiction," but rather "a real human being, in a sense a typical woman of her class and way of life in that section of the English world first called by Disraeli 'high society.'" In the observation of a reviewer of the day, the Duchess "carries off her fifty-eight years with a nonchalance and aplomb of a heroine of romance. She has, we are assured, lost none of her old vivacity and time has done nothing worse to her than mellow and make perfect an already delightful personality.".
