My Early Life. First Edition, First Impression. By Churchill, Winston S.

With the immortal account of his Boer War capture and escape, one of the best told adventure stories of all time, along with the relevant maps and fascinating South African photographs of the time. 

The most enjoyably readable of Churchill's books. A contemporary critic likened reading it to a "beaker of champagne".

This is the first edition, first impression with eleven previous titles on the verso of the half title page, as required in true first impressions. In pristine quarter dark brown leather binding with gilt title, incorporating original smooth red cloth boards with their gilt title over three lines and blindstamps. With new endpapers. All illustrations including photographs and maps, one fold-out, are present and in very good condition. Light foxing and marks on few of the outer leaves including the first page of text at the border, but the leaves are mostly clean of foxing. Very good condition in a pleasing leather binding.
