'Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers' - Charles W.Eliot
Artist: Henrietta Moraes Author: Henrietta Moraes Publisher: Hamish Hamilton Date: 1994 Condition: A first edition hardback with the original unclipped dust wrapper, some very minor handling marks to the wrapper but otherwise a very good copy of this relatively scarce autobiography.
Best known as a friend and model to artists including Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud and John Minton, Moraes' life is actually a more extensive and interesting tale which helps to flesh out the bohemian world of London in the post-WWII period.
