LELIA: The life of George Sand by Andre Maurois. Hardbavck with gold lettering, published in 1953 by harper and Brothers. I think this is the first American edition, but I am not entirely certain. This is a former library book with some tape on the spine. No jacket. Edgewear at the top of the spine. A little more wear at corners. Some remarkable illustrations and a moving biography of an underappreciated woman and writer.
