***Powell was regarded by such writers as Evelyn Waugh and Kingsley Amis as amongst the greatest British novelists of the 20th century, "The twelve-volume sequence of A Dance to the Music of Time traces a colorful group of English acquaintances across a span of many years from 1914 to 1971. The slowly developing narrative centers around life's poignant encounters between friends and lovers who later drift apart and yet keep reencountering each other".(Robert L.Selig)..

PLEASE NOTE: The jacket on A Question of Upbringing has some sensitive restoration to the head of the spine, fore-edge and joints.
