Bachelors Galore (1st edition 1958). By Essie Summers

Bachelors Galore by Essie Summers.

Publisher: Mills & Boon, 1958 FIRST EDITION.

The author's second novel. Essie Summers was a New Zealand author who wrote so vividly of the people and landscape of her native country that she was offered The Order Of the British Empire for her contributions to New Zealand tourism.

Very good hardback, slight bumping to edges, fading to base of spine, some marks. Light tanning to pages, ome foxing spots. Name whited out on ffep, minor marks, binding firm. Jacket is chipped, rubbed and marked with some large tears, and some loss, lower half of spine is missing.

Marty made a thoughtless little joke about going to New Zealand to look for a susceptible bachelor with a seven-thousand-a-year wool-clip . . . and unfortunately Philip Griffiths overheard and took her seriously. So when she found that she was to settle in his part of the country, she had to work very hard to show him that she was not specially interested in men and least of all in him. This story of a stormy courtship is told by an author who is herself a New Zealander and who knows how to describe her country vividly and lovingly.
