Georgian Afternoon - L. E. Jones Vintage hardback, 1958, Rupert Hart-Davis

A quietly elegant mid-century hardback of Georgian Afternoon by L. E. Jones, published in 1958 by Rupert Hart-Davis, Soho Square, London. Bound in soft, pale blue paper with red cloth underneath and a calm, understated typography, this is a book that carries its period gently - refined and thoughtful. 

Written with clarity and restraint, Georgian Afternoon is a reflective memoir that moves between childhood, education, intellectual life and place, tracing the inner landscapes that shape a life as much as the outer ones. Jones writes with intelligence and sensitivity, offering a measured, observant voice that feels deeply rooted in its time yet quietly timeless.

This copy is in very good vintage condition. The pages are clean and bright, the binding is firm, and the cloth boards remain well preserved with light, age-appropriate wear. The interior is crisp and readable throughout, making it as suitable for reading as it is for collecting or styling.

A beautifully made book for those drawn to memoir, literary history, and the calm pleasure of well-written recollection. 

A gentle, reflective piece - understated, intelligent, and very much in keeping with the spirit of Hiraeth.
