First British edition and first printing. Hardcover. 543 pages. One of Irving's most beloved novels. The basis for the movie "Simon Birch" which starred Ashley Judd and David Strathairn. A very good plus copy with the inevitable toning to the pages and some slight pushing to the spine ends and in a near fine dust jacket with some slight sunning to the spine. Signed by Irving on the title page and uncommon as such.
