An attractive set, scarce signed thus with presentation inscriptions all written near to the time of the relevant volume's publication. The dedicatee is one Robert Roxburgh, and the set also includes a postcard written in 1986 from Dodie Smith's husband Alec Beesley, presenting Roxburgh with the last volume of the set and expressing his gratitude to the recipient.

4 volumes, first editions, all signed presentation copies from the author, 8vo., photographic plates, publisher's boards, dust-jackets, first vol. neatly price-clipped but overall fine copies.
