This bundle includes two books.

In Siegfried’s Journey, there is a bus ticket stub from London as well as a postcard with a letter written on it from 1923.

1) The Small Back Room by Nigel Balchin. Hardcover. 192 pages. 1947.

"The Small Back Room is a 1943 British thriller novel by Nigel Balchin, a pioneer of the use of computers, who later became Deputy Science Adviser. It makes fun of 'the lesser back-room boy'."

2) Siegfried's Journey 1916-1920 by Siegfried Sassoon. Hardcover. 224 pages.

"With this volume of his autobiography Siegfried Sassoon covers the years 1916-1920 inclusive, the years in which he established his reputation as poet and as protestant against war. Primarily the book consists of literary reminiscences, with interludes concerning Sassoon’s appearances in support of Philip Snowden’s Labor Movement and occasional retirements to the country to resume the role of fox-hunting man. In regard to the last aspect I can merely cite Flinders Petrie to the effect that the chief preoccupation of Paleolithic man was hunting, and that large sections of the English people live in a Paleolithic frame of mind."
