First edition. Author's presentation copy, inscribed on the front endpaper to close friend, Gillian Sutro, "For Gillian, with love from Graham / A poor return for all that vodka April 18. 1981." A fine copy in a fine dustwrapper.

John Sutro was a film producer and Gillian, a fashion journalist, described by Nancy Mitford as "one of the ten best dressed women in England", combined film and fashion. Sutro had known Evelyn Waugh at Oxford and his literary circle included Arthur Koestler, Christopher Sykes, John Sparrow and Jean Cocteau.

They were near neighbours in Antibes and each corresponded independently with him, Gillian helping him through his tumultuous affair with Yvette Cloetta.
