Description
Waugh (Evelyn) The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold, a Conversation Piece, first edition, signed presentation inscription from the author to Miss [Margaret] Case to front free endpaper, original cloth, spine a little darkened, dust-jacket, spine ends and corners a little chipped, short nick to head of upper panel, an excellent copy overall, 8vo, 1957.

⁂ "A lady called Miss Case is in love with me- unreciprocated""- Evelyn Waugh in a letter to Nancy Mitford, November, 1948.

Margaret Case worked at Vogue for around 40 years, mostly as an editor. She appears to have met Waugh whilst they were on board the Queen Elizabeth. In 1971 she was unceremoniously fired from the magazine and tragically killed herself a few days later.
