Written in 1969, it recounts Angelou's early experiences as a woman of colour in the segregated Deep South where, surrounded by bigotry and poverty, daily life was lived on a knife-edge. Brown pictorial cloth, gilt title to spine. 254 pages.
Light crease to cloth of spine at top & tail (shelf wear) else a lovely copy contained in publisher's slipcase which has some light scuffing and white scuff marks to spine (VG+).
