JOHNS, Derek. Ariel. A Literary Life of Jan Morris … Drawing by Jan Morris. [London], Faber, [2016].
8vo. Original boards with illustrated dust-wrappers (not price-clipped), pictorial endpapers after Jan Morris; pp. xi, 196; spine a little faded, a very good copy of a beautifully written and designed book.
First edition, first printing, signed presentation copy, inscribed by the subject on the title-page. This copy was inscribed to Jan Morris' neighbours. 'The couple were called Janet and Bernard Owens, and lived in Criccieth so they were neighbours of Jan's and, I think, well known to her' (Pauls Clements, the biographer of Jan Morris, via email).
