First edition of the collection of Frances Stevenson's diaries. Octavo, original navy blue cloth, illustrated with photographs. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the verso of the half title page, "For dear Bob and Wanda with love and every good wish for the future from Frances Lloyd-George - August 1971." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Craig Dodd.
This book of personal diaries is a monument to David Lloyd George's existence in love and politics, collected from the pen of the woman who was his devoted mistress, confidential secretary, and second wife. Through the careful archiving of information, from her assistance on Lloyd George's speeches to her accompaniment on his foreign missions, Frances Stevenson created this uniquely valuable record that has changed the historical landscape for the United Kingdom's most elusive twentieth-century statesman.
