First edition, first impression. 192pp. Brown cloth boards with Mills and Boon motif in corner (rubbed at points, rounded at spine tips, sunned on spine, a few marks). Slightly cocked. Lending sheet on front free endpaper, no other library markings. Well-thumbed pages with occasional spotting. In its original dust jacket (rubbed, lightly bumped and a couple of nicks on edges, spine crease, shelf wear). Dust jacket supplied in archival-quality mylar wrapper to protect and prolong the life of the jacket. It is not adhered to the book or to the dust jacket. Scarce title, especially so in its dust jacket. Catherine Airlie was the pseudonym of Jean S Macleod. She also wrote romantic fiction for Mills and Boon under her real name and was a member of the Romantic Novelist's Association, where she met Barbara Cartland who was by all accounts, none too friendly towards her.
