1st Edition 1967. The Authors Own Retained Book and with his Presentation Inscription to his Wife and Bookplate to the endpaper.Dorothy Pritchett became the ideal partner to VSP, as he was known, and as she always called him. She made a career out of looking after her husband, typing all his manuscripts, hammering away at tremendous speed on an Imperial typewriter. She worked through the second, third and fourth drafts and was the only person who could decipher VSP's notoriously spidery handwriting. Beautifully photographed by Evelyn Hofer.The author gives a personal view of a city he first visited as a young journalist in 1923, and which he came to love. He tells us of Dublin's politics, explores its fine mansions, its curious statues and hidden corners, its splendour and squalor. He takes the reader there in the 1920s and he shows the reader the Dublin of the 60s, a modern city facing the future, but still as eccentric, enchanting and eloquent as ever.
