First edition first print hardback of THE NAIVE AND SENTIMENTAL LOVER by John le Carre and published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1971. Signed, dated (21 July 71) and located (Cafe Royal) by le Carre on the title page. Scarce title, even more so signed directly to the book.The book is in near fine condition (black cloth boards with gilt lettering to front and spine) with no significant wear. The book is in a very good unclipped dust jacket which has a bit of rubbing here and there and a couple of tiny closed tears. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.
At the age of 38 Aldo Cassidy in the eyes of the world, if not of his wife, is a wealthy and good man. He is ingenious and thrusting. He has founded his own business, his inventions have made him the success story of the pram trade. Inwardly nevertheless he yearns for more: to invest his heart, in fact, with the same success with which once he invested his talents and his money. Touring Somerset in search of a stately home to buy, he encounters a charming if wayward couple, Helen and Shamus, and falls in love with them both.
