In the summer of 1934, a sickly marmoset named Mitz came into the care of Leonard Woolf. After he nursed her back to health, she was almost always on his shoulder. Nunez records the Woolfs' world from the eyes of Mitz as she traveled with them between their London flat and Sussex, and spent time with friends like T. S. Eliot and Vita Sackville-West. Mitz went with the Woolfs on travels through Europe and with them, narrowly escaped trouble with Nazis. In this fictional biography of Mitz, based on letters, diaries and other primary sources, teaches the reader much about the care of marmosets, and about the Bloomsbury Circle in a critical period. First Edition in black cloth with beautifully illustrated jacket in like new condition. HarperFlamingo, an imprint of HarperCollins. 1998. Hb, Dj. USED. $50.00
