A propos de cet article

The Heart of the Bush by Edith Searle Grossmann VERY SCARCE. Published by Sands & Co, London, 1910, first edition. Good hardback, boards have some marks and a little rubbing and bumping, spine is dulled down with splitting and fraying to cloth. 1910 written in ink on title page. Pages are tanned with some foxing. Some splitting to paper at internal hinges but binding firm. 334 pages. The Heart of the Bush is a romance, that most conservative of genres that tidies up the problems it posits.
