George Orwell knew London intimately and over a span of thirty years: from his excited schoolboy visits to the family flat in the early 1920s, to his deathbed marriage in a London hospital in 1949. This book traces two paths - that of Orwell's life in London and that of his characters'. Navy blue cloth boards, silver title to spine. B/w photos. vi and 120 pages including index. ISBN: 0947795006. A nice copy. Grey dustwrapper is browned to spine and across top edges, small closed tear repaired with clear tape to verso at top rear edge of spine, light scuffing.
