Marlowe, G. S.

I Am Your Brother

      Collins, 1935. Light wear, slight spotting, neat name on front endpaper, eps and prelims a little foxed otherwise very good. 8vo. pp 286. Curious modern Gothic psychological novel, in its time both bestseller and cult. The first book of an enigmatic figure on the margins of the Fitzrovian set. Much admired by J Maclaren Ross, among others, the author was later to vanish, presumed dead (see J Maclaren Ross ëMemoirs of the Fortiesí pp 38-45. ) The British edition, the true first is an inexplicably elusive title. The printed dedicatee of the book is the author Enid Bagnold. It is said that Marlowe informed Maclaren Ross that he had written it to entertain her children while staying at her country house.
