Monica Dickens’ 1958 novel One Pair of Feet follows a spirited young woman trading debutante comforts for wartime nursing, delivering an engaging blend of military drama and vintage hospital humour. This hardcover edition from Michael Joseph captures the era’s nurse-novel charm and sits perfectly alongside other collectable WWII stories on your shelf.
The book is inscribed, adding a personal wartime echo to its provenance, and comes protected by its original dust jacket. Expect gentle edge foxing and two small page spots; the jacket shows chips and scuffing typical of a well-loved vintage volume, but the text block remains tight and readable.
Ideal for collectors of antiquarian military fiction or readers who enjoy strong female voices in historical drama. Young adults and adults alike will appreciate Dickens’ sharp social observations and the authentic details of nursing life during conflict.
