About This Item
London : William Heinemann, (1971). First British edition. Signed by the author on the half-title. Her third novel - the removal of their hedge as a fire-precaution leaves Bingo and Barney Edwards of Bel Air defenceless and exposed to the farcical madness of contemporary Los Angeles - hippies, junkies, the alternative psychiatrist-cum-guru next door, his patients, brushes with firemen, welfare services, the police, ice-plants, and the realities of the fire when it comes. "A brilliant comic novel ... full of extraordinary characters and events" (Alison Lurie). Post 8vo (21cm). [viii],(244),[ii],[2]pp. Original orange-red boards, ruled and lettered in gilt; a very good, clean, fresh and bright copy in the Camm Ashbrooke dust-jacket - barring one minuscule nick, also fresh, bright, clean and unworn.
