Everyman Library edition, inscribed dedication from the author on front free endpaper, to Mrs Burra, original cloth, dust-jacket, torn with loss, small 8vo, 1942.

***Containing Forster's 'personal note' on Burra originally intended for the privately-published memorial tribute, Essays and Poems. The book is personally inscribed by Forster: "Mrs [Ella] Burra, with good wishes from E.M. Forster, and with thanks, and with remembrances." See the next lot, in which Forster refers to sending her this copy: "I don't know whether you have seen the enclosed. Please keep it if you would care to do so, as I have another (corrected) copy for Dents. They speak of July for publication.".
