One site had to say: "Now is an extremely good time to start a Nevil Shute collection. Although prices have about doubled in the last few years, his titles are still relatively modest in comparison with other "hot" authors. However, since prices are increasing about 30% per year, delay will be costly."

Hardcover tan cover with dark red & green lettering and designs. No dust jacket. 246 pages. William Morrow and Company/New York FIRST EDITION 1944, prev. owner's bookplate on inside front cover. It is the oldest story in the world, told with such freshness that it will recapture for its readers the heart of youth. PASTORAL is a happy book, filled with the glow and discovery of young love.
