An excellent copy of Blunden's history of one of those truly worthy and typically English institutions; "In 1909 Edmund moved from the local Grammar School to the boarding school Christ's Hospital in Horsham, Sussex having won a Classics scholarship. Christ's Hospital was a unique school founded by Edward VI for the boys of parents with little or no means."

Scarce in the dust-jacket.

First edition; 8vo; 8 plates; some mild marginal toning, small patch of offsetting to two pages from a page marker, overall internally fine; publisher's blue cloth, printed dust-jacket, slightly toned at spine, a few small chips, but overall very good.
