Jones, Idwal.

High Bonnet.

New York: Prentice Hall, Inc., 1945.

Octavo, 184 pages. First edition, of this classic novel of the professional chef. The author, a Welshman transplanted to California, was a longtime San Francisco journalist and novelist. M.F.K. Fisher provides a long jacket blurb which, in part, states "Everything Idwal Jones writes is charged with a special tantalizing flavor, a kind of exotic earthiness, and High Bonnet is to my mind the most magical of them all." Near fine, in a near fine dust jacket. Inscribed "For Dorothy Robinson, the unruffled and ever-pleasant, and a wonder at finding the needle in the haystack - With warm regards, Idwal Jones".
