Babbling April

GREENE, Graham

HIS WIFE'S COPY

GREENE, Graham Babbling April

Blackwell, 1925.

First edition. Original grey paper covered boards lettered in blue in pale grey dustwrapper printed in black. Vivien Greene's copy with her ownership inscription on the front endpaper. A fine copy in a very good dustwrapper with some tanning to the spine and a few small marks to the covers.

The author's first book, published whilst the author was an undergraduate. 500 copies were printed of which only 302 copies were bound up.
Vivien met Greene whilst she was working as a secretary at Blackwells (the publisher of this volume) and Greene was still at Oxford in 1925. Greene converted to Catholicism so that he could marry her in 1927. Their marriage lasted until the end of the 1940s, when it effectively fell apart due to Greene's constant infidelities, though the couple never divorced.
