The First UK printing published by Macmillan & Co.Ltd, London in 1957. The author’s uncommon debut novel. The BOOK is in near Fine condition and appears unread. Original cloth, light spotting to the upper text-block otherwise clean. A hint of fading to the extreme spine tips. The striking WRAPPER is complete and is in near Fine condition. A few light spots to the lower panel with some slight toning and minor rubbing at the extremities. A very tiny minor abrasion to the text letter 'P' on the upper spine, otherwise in exceptional condition. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. The book has been signed (without dedication) by the author on the title page. The author Evelyn Waugh described this novel as 'brilliantly original and fascinating'.
