“RÉNIN, Paul” – [GOYNE, Richard, 1902-1957] : SUSANNE DE PARIS. London : Phoenix Press, [ca.1952]. [Third? edition]. “She came to Paris when she was twelve, but how, where from, with what intent – not even the wisest know, not even the most selective memories can recall. Susanne just came, and perhaps it was more suitable thus, for to think of this wild, untamed, altogether lovely little devil – as she certainly was – having a conventional home, a mother to grieve over her misdoings, a father to reprimand, brothers and sisters to scorn and quarrel – why, it was sheer nonsense”. Published from Phoenix’s post-1949 Kennington Lane address. Holland & Williams (1990) make no mention of this edition, but suggest the existence of both a Gramol edition from the late 1920s and a Popular Fiction edition of 1951: no copy of either has been traced, but a variant of this Phoenix edition, with a different and possibly earlier cover is now known. £40 To purchase, call us or e-mail us at books@ashrare.com quoting stock number 44442 – or simply click on the button
