First edition of Henry Williamson's How Dear Is Life
First edition of the fourth novel in the author’s semi-autobiographical Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight series. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Broom Lynne. Bookplate.
This fine novel, written with the passion and feeling of an experience which has been re-lived, tells of the "red little, dead little army" which perished in the battle of Ypres in the 1914-18 Great War. It mirrors England of another age, in the summer before the storm, and recalls with poignancy Laurence Binyon's lines: "They went with songs to the battle, they were young."
