The Wanderer. Le Grand Meaulnes

Translated by Françoise Delisle. Illustrated by John Minton and with an Introduction by Bonamy Dobrée. First thus. With Review Slip loosely inserted. Hardback in dust jacket. 223pp. + 8 plates by John Minton. Age-toning to leaves as usual. Jacket price-clipped, rubbed and with some darkening to spine; tears and chips and slight creasing to extremities with minor loss to head of spine. *** A very attractive copy of this illustrated edition of Alain-Fournier’s only novel. It was printed on wartime economy paper stock that’s prone to aging; the notoriously fragile dustwrapper is clipped but very good. Unusual with a contemporary review slip.
