    Notes

    First edition, first impression, in a presentable example of the rare dust jacket, retaining much of its vibrant colour.

    My Early Life is Churchill's only volume of sustained autobiography. Among his most widely-read works, it provides a highly entertaining account of his childhood, schooldays at Harrow, military training at Sandhurst, experiences as a war correspondent in Cuba, service attached to the Malakand Field Force in the North-West Frontier Province of India, charging with the 21st Lancers at Omdurman, and as a POW in South Africa during the Boer War. Overall, it gives a "witty and elegiac account of his youth shot through with regret at the decline of the social and imperial order in which he had grown up" (ODNB).

    This kopia is in the second state of half-title and binding, without priority of issue.
