Love Me Little

London: Secker and Warburg, 1957.

First UK Edition, Original blue cloth with the excellent, pictorial dust-jacket Peter Strausfeld (1910-80). Back panel of jacket a touch soiled, head of the spine rubbed. Endpapers browned with offsetting from the flap of jacket. Coming of age yarn about teenage girls romping in the "crazy heartless world of the espresso bar, rock-'n'-roll, star-worship, the mid-twentieth century substitute for adequate human responses". Great jacket; story perhaps not so hot.
