About this copy
J. B. Priestley was one of the most widely read English writers of the twentieth century, and Delight is a witty, affectionate look at the pleasures and absurdities of life, written with the warmth and humour that made his name. Readers have long returned to his essays and novels for their wisdom and generosity of spirit. This copy is a handsome hardback in the original blue cloth, complete with its dust jacket bearing the 10s 6d net price.
A lovely period piece, dated 'Christmas 1949' on the front endpaper.
