First Edition, first printing. 189 pages. Publisher's yellow cloth with green titles to the backstrip. With the striking dust-jacket by English draughtsman-artist John Minton, with the first state price of 21s printed at bottom of the front flap. Over 50 illustrations by Minton including many full-page examples and eight in colo…ur. Untorn jacket has just some light rubbing to ends of the backstrip to detract. A fine copy. That is Alan Ross describing Corsica in 1947 which he and the artist John Minton visited, in the footsteps of Edward Lear, expressly to write this book. Although admitting, perhaps too modestly, to the influence of Graham Greene's The Lawless Roads and Journey Without Maps and therefore 'too inclined to see Corsica in terms of defeated priests, corrupt politicians and saintly monks' he wrote one of the best travel books since the Second World War. It is, in fact, a collaboration between a gifted writer and the most romantic artist of his generation, and, in its own lesser way, it played a part, alongside the early Elizabeth Davids (also illustrated by John Minton), of reminding drab, grey, post-war Britain of a warmer, sunnier, more colourful alternative: the Mediterranean. Book.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing), in the first issue binding of buckram, blocked in green at the backstrip with gilt lettering and decoration. Tall 8vo. xiv, 189pp. Minton contributes a frontispiece, a title page decoration, eight full-page colour…plates, 42 full-page black and white plates, and 39 further black and white tail-pieces and drawings in the text. A touch of light occasional blemishing to the cloth. The free endpapers lightly spotted, and with some further very light spotting to the reverse of the colour plate leaves, but with none of the images or text block impacted. Very good indeed in the magnificent double-spread pictorial colour dust wrapper, non-price-clipped (21s. net), but with a touch of wear to the head of the spine panel and to several corner tips resulting in several miniscule fractional of loss. A superbly preserved example.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. The First UK printing published by John Lehmann, London in 1948. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Original publisher's yellow buckram boards with green titling and decoration to the spine. This is the second state binding of the first printing… (The first state had the binding of yellow buckram stamped in green and gilt on the spine). Some light pushing at the spine ends and mild bumping to the lower front corners. Internally clean. The fragile WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ condition. Light edge-wear at the spine ends and corners. A few small closed tears and a little toning to the spine and flap edges. Some very superficial rubbed areas to the spine and a very tiny area of loss to the front flap fold, which are barely discernible. The wraparound wrapper artwork by John Minton looks striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. 8 colour plates, and over 50 black and white drawings, mainly full-page, by John Minton. Alan Ross and John Minton's artistic collaboration and ode to the island of Corsica. Ross and Minton were commissioned by the publisher John Lehmann to travel to Corsica and put together a book of words and images. They visited the island in the post-war summer of 1947. The resulting travelogue contains history, descriptions, impressions, maps, stories, poems and illustrations. Minton's Neo-Romantic illustrations perfectly capture the heat and spirit of the island and the book is arguably his most successful and influential illustrated work. The title comes from the Louis MacNeice line - 'Time was away and somewhere else.' [Spalding, Frances. John Minton. Dance Till The Stars Come Down. 2005. p. 109-14.]. One of the nicest copies that we have handled to date and now increasingly elusive in collectible condition. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.

FIRST EDITION, frontispiece, title-page design and drawings throughout by John Minton (many full-page and some colour-printed), title-page printed in green and black, pp. 189, royal 8vo, original canary yellow cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt against a green ground with decorations in gilt at either end, the lettering a little…rubbed, corners at head gently knocked, very faint mark to upper board, very faint tape shadows to free endpapers, the dustjacket with an overall design by John Minton, a little chipped at corners and ends of backstrip panel, the latter a little tatty at foot with some external tape repair to tears, the same at head of upper joint-fold, very good. Inscribed by John Minton on the flyleaf, in his distinctive hand: 'Kenneth - from Johnny, Nov. 1948'. The recipient was Kenneth Lawrence, with whom Minton had been at Reading School in the 1930s - hence, perhaps, the use of a familiar form of his name, not generally used in his adult life. The pair remained close, with Lawrence receiving numerous letters and artworks from Minton before the latter's early death in 1957. Ross's travel narrative and poetry combine with Minton's wonderful illustrations to achieve an elegant and highly distinctive work, one of the most admired works of illustration in its era; presentation copies are uncommon.
