A Little Learning: The first volume of an Autobiography.
WAUGH, Evelyn

Category: Biography, First Edition

Place/Publisher/Date:
Dust jacket. London, Chapman and Hall. 1964.

Description: First edition; 8vo; original light blue cloth, frontispiece consisting of two photographs of Waugh as a boy and a young man. Signed on the title page by the author. Waugh opens this account of the period from childhood to a failed suicide attempt with remark that only when one has lost all curiosity about the future has one reached the age to write a biography. The suicide attempt marked Waugh's lowest ebb, being an unpublished and poor teacher. Very good, with some slight spotting to the cloth cover. The dust jacket is fine.
