    Le Carre’s amusing entertainment set in Panama and a homage to Graham Greene and his equally brilliant Our Man in Havana. The tailor experiences all sorts of difficulties … personal, financial and professional … he is a fine hand with the scissors.

  • Daphnis et Chloe By Longus with aquarelles by G. P. Jornard – Surely the world’s prettiest book

    Daphnis et Chloe By Longus with aquarelles by G. P. Jornard – Surely the world’s prettiest book

    Published on the Champs-Elysees, Paris in the 1920’s by Editions Nilsson.

    This superb book contains six mounted watercolours (aquarelles) that match the quality of the watercolour adorning this beautiful onion skin paper front cover.

    Small quarto, 154 pages. This book often found as effectively a soft cover – this copy hard bound, pretty basic half red cloth over brown papered boards, top edge gilt. Whilst we say basic it’s done a good job in protecting the aquarelles … the odd bit of spotting in the text. Overall, a very worthwhile copy.

    A Greek pastoral novel written by Longus during the second century AD. Based on the island of Lesbos a young couple having been brought up adopted by a goat herder and a shepherd respectively having been abandoned at birth eventually find love. It was a difficult road but it ends well.

    The artist was Germaine Paule Jounard, she was a highly respected artist of the period and completed many illustrations particularly for the frencg fashion industry at the time.

    What better romantic gift than this

    French 1920’s with beauty and style
