CHURCHILL, Winston S. Thoughts and Adventures. London: Thornton Butterworth Limited, 1932. First edition, first impression, 8vo (217 x 140mm.) Photographic portrait frontispiece. (Toning, minor spotting to preliminaries, occasional browning.) Original cloth, dust-jacket (browned, chipped at top of spine panel, split to spine panel). Note: the book of essays that covers, perhaps, the broadest range of Churchill’s interests. In a letter to his publisher Churchill wrote of the book that, ‘although there is no single theme, it has some of the best things in it I have ever written’. Provenance: from the estate of Trevor Hives, thence by descent.
