Product Description
A charming Folio Society edition of An Innkeeper's Diary by John Fothergill, published in London in 2000. First published in 1931, this much-loved memoir offers a fascinating glimpse into life at the historic Spread Eagle Inn in Thame, Oxfordshire, capturing the characters, conversations, and everyday moments that passed through its doors.
Beautifully produced in the manner for which Folio Society editions are renowned, the book combines literary interest with decorative appeal, making it equally suited to reading, collecting, or display within a thoughtfully curated interior. Rich in humour, observation, and social history, Fothergill's account provides a window into a slower pace of life and a world shaped by hospitality, tradition, and human connection.
This attractive edition would sit beautifully amongst a collection of decorative books, keepsakes, and personal treasures, adding warmth and character to a library, bedside table, or dressing table arrangement.
The book is in good condition with light wear consistent with age, handling, and use.
