Literary SOS

 

I am reaching out to the blogosphere in search of a rare book.  I am looking for the following title:
 
"Over the garden wall. A Story of Racing and Romance"
 
Author: Eleanore Byng (Viscountess Torrington)
 
London, England

288 Pages
 
May 16, 1924
 
Published by Hutchinson & Co.
 
WHY? The Author who is known to me as Eleanor Souray is my father's great aunt on his mother's side. So my great-great aunt.  She was born in 1880 in Long Ditton, Surrey and died in London, England Dec 8, 1931.
 
I will dedicate an upcoming series of blogs to her interesting life as an actress, "Gaiety Girl". Post card beauty, Horsewoman and "Lady" marrying George Byng, 9th Viscount Torrington.
 
If anyone has a copy of this book or knows where I can get one please leave me a comment.
 
Thank You!
