Jill
Faber, 1964.
First Faber edition. Original russet cloth in pink and white dustwrapper. A near fine copy in a very good (price clipped) dustwrapper, which is crisp but faded and soiled to the spine.
The author's first novel, and a classic coming of age text.
"Jill, written at the age of twenty-one and a work of remarkable assurance, makes it clear that his novelistic gifts, had he chosen to develop them, were potentially as impressive as his abilities as a poet... This is a beautifully written and observed novel, firm in its characterization and delicate in its evocation of autumnal Oxford in 1940." (New York Times, 1964)
