Hebe Elsna - The Marrying Kind - signed 1957 UK 1st DJ dedication copy

Description: Hebe Elsna - The Marrying Kind - 1957 U.K. first edition published by Robert Hale Limited The dedication copy, inscribed by Elsna to the front endpaper: "To dear Helen to whom this book is inscribed with love from Hebe Elsna Dec. 57.". The recipient being Helen Hale, the artist and sculptor, born in 1936, who illustrated dust jackets for Hale in the 1950s, and who I am assuming was related to Robert Hale, though available biographical information on her is reticent on this point. The book is firmly bound in clean blue cloth lettered in slightly tarnished gilt to the spine, the extremities are a little bumped and rubbed. The text block is slightly toned and foxed. The dust jacket is the original and not price clipped, the spine is lightly faded, the edges are a little rubbed and chipped with a few short closed tears and the panels are slightly grubby with a few marks. An erudite and complex romance novel, revolving around the lives of a mother, Olivia, and her two daughters, both named after "Shakespearian heroines": "I knew of course," Olivia said, "the sort of story which Perry told. I was sensitive and lonely, perhaps slightly neurotic.".
