The first UK edition of the Nobel Laureate's second book and first to be published outside of South Africa, following Face to Face published in Johannesburg in 1949. The front panel of the dustwrapper states: "We believe we have made, in these stories by a South African writer still in her early twenties, a real discovery".
A fine unmarked copy in the original blue cloth. In a very good plus bright dustwrapper which has some light edge wear with one 1cm. closed tear and a slightly darkened spine which has a few mm. of loss at both extremes. A better than average copy of this fairly friable dustwrapper. Signed by Gordimer on the half-title page.
