"Waugh was not only one of the foremost novelists of his generation, he was also of the last great practitioners of the art of letter writing. Diana Olivia Winifred Maud Cooper, Viscountess Norwich (née Lady Diana Manners; 1892-1986), was a famously glamorous social figure in London and Paris. As a young woman, she moved in a celebrated group of intellectuals known as the Coterie, most of whom were killed in the First World War. She married one of the few survivors, Duff Cooper, later British Ambassador to France. After his death, she wrote three volumes of memoirs which reveal much about early 20th-century upper-class life. The fortuitous recovery of the correspondence is a boon as the story behind the disappearance of the letters passes into the Waugh legend. Waugh's platonic alliance with Lady Diana deepened into one of the most important and enduring friendships of his life, and he immortalized her as Mrs. Stitch in the nove. Scoop." Not Price Clipped.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, fourth impression with '4' on copyright page, a tribute to the book's popularity. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, top corners very slightly bruised, very slight lean, not price clipped (£25.00), no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ copy. 362pp. 'A Time of Gifts' and 'Between the Woods and the Water' were the first two volumes in a projected trilogy that would describe the walk that Patrick Leigh Fermor undertook at the age of eighteen from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople. 'When are you going to finish Vol. III?' was the cry from his fans, but although he wished he could, the words refused to come. The curious thing was that he had not only written an early draft of the last part of the walk, but that it predated the other two. It remained unfinished but 'The Broken Road', edited and introduced by Colin Thubron and Artemis Cooper, Leigh Fermor's literary executors, completes an extraordinary journey. Patrick Leigh Fermor was widely regarded as 'Britain's greatest living travel writer' during his lifetime, A BBC journalist once described him as 'a cross between Indiana Jones, James Bond and Graham Greene.' During the war, working for SOE, he achieved lasting fame for his kidnapping, with Stanley Moss, of Nazi General Heinrich Kreipe on Crete. Jacket by Ed Kluz (illustratore). …
