Sylvia Townsend Warner - A Stranger with a Bag, First edition - 1966

Scarce first edition. Chatto & Windus, London, 1966. Binding tight and square. Dust jacket is lovely and bright, with only some edgewear, and a closed tear on the top edge of backcover, of about 2cm.

A scarce first edition of a short story collection by Sylvia Townsend Warner which is currently out of print, after being briefly brought back by Faber in the last decade. Townsend Warner continues to be a hugely underrated author, but a crucial read for anyone interested in women's and queer literature from the 20th century.
