ORWELL'S LONDON

by John Thompson

Illustrated by Philippa Scoones

Published by Fourth Estate. 1st. 1984

Slightly better than very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. George Orwell knew London intimately and over a span of thirty years: from his excited schoolboy visits to the family flat in the early 1920s, to his deathbed marriage in a London hospital in 1949. This book traces two paths - that of Orwell's life in London and that of his characters'. Navy blue cloth boards, silver title to spine. B/w photos. vi and 120 pages including index.

A nice copy. Grey dustwrapper is browned to spine and across top edges, small closed tear repaired with clear tape to verso at top rear edge of spine, light scuffing.
