Binding: Hardback

Signed and dedicated to "Mary Elizabeth Britton" on the front endpaper.  Rhys Davies was born in the Rhondda but moved to London as a young man and began a literary career.  He spent time in France with D.H and Frieda Lawrence and was gifted a legacy from Anna Kavan.  He never returned permanently to Wales and as a gay man probably felt more comfortable in the Bloomsbury and Brighton of the times.  This novel lacks the dust jacket but is nonetheless a good reading copy. There is some foxing to text block edges; boards are clean apart from a small mark to front; some stitching showing; pages all clean and without marks or inscriptions.

Book Condition: Good
