Monica Dickens’ 1958 novel One Pair of Feet follows a spirited debutante who trades ballroom slippers for hospital clogs, giving readers an unvarnished glimpse of wartime nursing life. Written with the author’s trademark wit and sharp observation, this hardback reissue captures the camaraderie, chaos and quiet courage found behind the wards of a 1940s military hospital.

A vintage Michael Joseph edition, the book arrives with its original dust jacket—chipped and gently scuffed, but still bright enough to display. Inside, a neat previous-owner name on the front pastedown and light foxing to the top edge hint at decades of careful reading, while just two small spots to the bottom margins of single pages leave the text itself crisp and fully readable.

Perfect for collectors of mid-century nurse fiction or anyone hunting a signed Monica Dickens novel, this inscribed copy adds authentic character to any drama, war or antiquarian shelf. Snag it now to own a piece of period storytelling that still feels fresh today.
