Publication Details: Hutchinson, 1959

Notes: Inscribed by the author on the title-page: 'For Dodie Smith, with much gratitude & admiration'. An appealing association between two major women writers of the period – Smith then at the height of her fame, having published 'I Capture the Castle' and 'The Hundred and One Dalmatians'.This book, a teenage love-story of its time, was Spain's last published novel; she died in a plane-crash on her way to the Grand National in 1964. Presentation copies of her work are uncommon.
