About This Item
Gollancz, 1979. First edition, first printing. 8vo. Red boards with gilt titles. Yellow Gollancz dustwrapper. A fine copy with clean boards. Internally clean and fresh with no inscriptions. The near fine dustwrapper has no chipping or splitting. A hint of toning to spine o/w fine. Original price of £3.95net to front flap. Gothic tale set in Burley's beloved Cornwall. A glimpse of girl where no girl should be; an unconsecrated tomb at the centre of an overgrown maze and then a confrontation between past and present - between Charles who died a century ago and Brian his mirror image.
