First edition. 8vo., contemporary half green morocco. New York, Toronto, McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1968.
Inscribed by the author: “For Sir Charles Petrie, with gratitude and best regards from Frances Parkinson Keyes. See p. IX”. On page ix Keyes recalls how she was reading a book of Sir Charles Petrie’s, Scenes from Edwardian Life, when she was so struck by a paragraph that she decided she must write a novel about it. The Heritage was the result. An excellent copy, spine sunned.
