About This Item

London, Faber and Faber, 1955. . First edition, first impression, signed and dated by the author with a signed note by him laid in; 8vo; publisher's purple cloth, titles to spine gilt, with the dust jacket, endpapers rather browned but a very good copy in the somewhat nicked, rubbed and sunned, price-clipped dust jacket missing a very small piece at the top of the spine panel.
Boldly signed by Durrell on the title page in 1985, the signed note by him written on his printed calling card reads, ' Please Note I shall be in London May 15 for ten days, I hope at Alan Thomas' in case Gerry wishes to contact me yours Larry'.
