Cloth, 8vo, 21 cm, [2], 505 pp. From the blurb: "This is a story about honour and innocence, lost and found, and about the vicissitudes of a deep friendship between two women. Guy Openshaw, dying, begs his wife Gertrude to remarry and be happy after he has gone, but Gertrude feels this to be impossible. She is consoled by the arrival, fresh from years in a convent, of her old college friend, Anne Cavidge, who is returning to the world: 'Mary Magdalene in reverse,' says Gertrude as she decks Anne with jewels. Will they settle down together and 'do virtuous things', now that Gertrude is a rich benevolent widow? Gertrude is surrounded with love, and also with eligible single men, among them the Count, son of a Polish exile. The Count, obsessively reliving his father's patriotic anguish, is a Conscript in the army of duty and in the imaginary forces of a "true Poland". A soldier of a very different sort is Tim Reede, a hanger-on of the Openshaws, painter, scrounger, story-teller and lost soul. He and his mistress Daisy Barrett sit in pubs and curse the world and dream of rich marriages. The Count, who is also dreaming of marriage, is paralysed by honourable scruples, and meanwhile Anne mourns her lost God and discovers her private and personal Christ. Desires and obligations, guilt and money, bedevil the issue. Tim commits a crime, Anne encounters the snares of the world, both hope for a renewal of innocence. There is an ordeal by water. All the characters are forced into some degree of heroism, and at last muddle and lies are cleared away, and sins are forgiven, though not everybody gains his heart's desire." Spine slightly creased, textblock edges slightly dust-stained with some marks, otherwise Good in a used dustwrapper with a faded spine and light foxing to the inside flaps.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. I recently acquired a collection of 14 Iris Murdoch first editions from the estate of Alan Pattillo (Brief biography below). This book has his ownership signature. Near Fine in a Fine d/w. Alan Huchison Pattillo (17 July 1929 - 16 January 2020) was a British writer and director who worked on Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, and Thunderbirds television series. Thunderbirds began in 1965, with Pattillo as writer, director and script editor. He shot the launch sequences that are used throughout the series. He won an Emmy in 1979 alongside Bill Blunden for his film editing on All Quiet on the Western Front. During the 1960s, Pattillo worked on several Gerry Anderson projects. He directed episodes of Four Feather Falls, Supercar and Fireball XL5. His work on the latter is regarded as having brought added sophistication to the direction of the series. Pattillo then worked again for Anderson on Stingray as director, before performing a number of roles on the next series from AP Films. For Thunderbirds Pattillo served as script editor, director, and writer. He directed four and wrote seven of the thirty-two episodes (including Attack of the Alligators!). Aside from his work on Gerry Anderson projects, Pattillo had a varied career in the film industry. He provided the story for a 1967 Diana Rigg era The Avengers episode The Bird Who Knew Too Much, which The Times television review noted as being "quite striking". Pattillo worked as the sound editor on Nicolas Roeg's Performance (1970) and again worked with the director as film editor on Walkabout (1971). He was the sound effects editor on Alan Parker's Pink Floyd: The Wall (1979). His work on All Quiet on the Western Front (also 1979), saw him awarded an Emmy for film editing, an award he shared with Bill Blunden. He later worked as associate editor on the film Gandhi (1982) directed by Richard Attenborough.…
