First edition copy of Elizabeth Taylor’s 1957 novel Angel, one of Taylor’s best-known works and admired for its sharp irony and vivid character study of a unique literary life. Elizabeth Taylor (1912-1975) is increasingly recognised as one of the best British writers of the twentieth century. In 2007, Angel was turned into a movie by French director François Ozon.
