1st edition, 1st impression. 192pp. Red cloth covered boards (a tad worn and faded at edges, marks, spine cloth thinning). Ex library, with lending marks on front endpaper only, occasional finger marks and spotting. The last few leaves affected by clean mis-fold along bound edge). In its original period pictorial dust jacket (lightly rubbed, chipped at corners, bumped at edged and nicked at spine tips). Still an attractive copy of this hard to find in hardback romance novel. Mary Burchell was the pen name of Ida Cook, a British campaigner for Jewish refugees. She and her sister rescued 29 Jews from the Nazis in the 1930s, mainly funded by Cook's writing. Between 1936 and 1985, she wrote 112 romance novels as Mary Burchell for Mills & Boon (many of which have since been republished by Harlequin). Many of her titles are now hard to find, especially in hardback, with original dust jackets.
