This title first published in the US by Scribners in 1952, the UK edition being published the same year by Jonathan Cape. The illustrated edition published by The Reprint Society in 1953 unusually pre-dated Cape’s illustrated version of the same by two years (1955).

Dustwrapper lightly rubbed and worn to extremities; a little bruised to spine head and upper corner tips; a short (5mm) edge tear to lower edge of rear panel; a little sunned and toned to spine; a touch dusty and marked in places. Cloth clean and bright; a touch bruised to spine head. Light offsetting to endpapers; pages clean and firm.

Overall, an exceptional copy, clean and fresh – quite lovely.
