Binding a little faded and worn, but a decent copy, with an elaborate prize label “for Cookery” of Whitelands College. Davidson includes himself alongside Jefferies, Stevenson, Walton, Cobbett, Wordsworth et al. Surprisingly, given the subject of the prize, Whitelands is a higher education seat of learning, initially for teacher training.
