GREENE, Graham. Reflections on Travels With My Aunt. New York: Fists & Company, 1989.
First separate edition, limited to 250 numbered copies printed on T. H. Saunders paper (of which this no. 210), signed by the author on the limitation page.
Large octavo (10 x 6 3/4 inches; 254 x 171 mm.). 20 unnumbered pages, including portrait frontispiece and four pages of facsimile manuscript.
Hand-bound in Sage Reynolds's painted paper wrappers by Claudia Cohen, with gilt initials on front panel. A fine copy.
A beautifully produced private press issue, presenting for the first time separately Greene’s retrospective introduction to Travels with My Aunt (1969), originally written for the 1980 collected edition.
In this short but revealing essay, Greene reflects on the origins of one of his most entertaining and unconventional novels - an affectionate departure from his darker Catholic works.
The inclusion of facsimile manuscript pages offers an appealing glimpse into Greene’s working process, while the use of T. H. Saunders handmade paper and the distinctive painted wrappers underscore the artisanal nature of the production.
