Contemporary pencil owner's signature on front free endpaper. Provenance: Poppy Strachey. 18 x 60mm. Contemporary blue silk covered. Slightly fraying at edges, with some slight edge wear.  A similar example of this book can be found in Her Majesty Queen Mary's Dolls' House at Windsor Castle. Bondy, 39-41 & 164.
