Hamish Hamilton, 1952.
Second edition. Original brown cloth, lettered silver, in the pictorial dustwrapper by Roy Sanford. A near fine copy in a near fine, price-clipped, dustwrapper which is faded to the spine.
The first printing of Pigeon Pie was poorly circulated, being published during the war, which resulted in this post-war reprint. On the dedicatory lead Mitford writes "I hope that anybody who is kind enough to read it in a second edition will remember that it was written before Christmas 1939. Published on 6th May 1940 it was an early and unimportant casualty of the real war which was then beginning."
