Mr. Roosevelt.

First edition of Compton Mackenzie's classic biography of the 32nd President of the United States. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Association copy, inscribed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the front free endpaper to his daughter, "For Anna - with love from her affectionate Pa - Pa Franklin D. Roosevelt." Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (1906–1975) was the eldest daughter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt, and played a notable role both within her family and in public life. She served as a close confidante to her father, particularly during his presidency, and at times assisted with political and administrative matters, especially as his health declined. Anna also worked as a journalist and editor, contributing to newspapers and engaging with public discourse. Her position within one of America’s most prominent political families afforded her a unique influence, though her contributions were often informal and operated behind the scenes. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco and folding chemise slipcase. An exceptional association.
