About This Item
London: Methuen & Co, 1955. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Narayan was the first professional novelists in India (and he was one of the only writers to stay in India), and this is one of his better novels, a comic and moving tale about a hapless lad who falls for a follower of Gandhi. First edition (states "first published..." on the copyright page). Light yellow-orange cloth stamped in red at the spine. A very good or better copy in a price-clipped dust jacket missing a few small chips from the top edge and some foxing to the back panel. With a previous owner's name inside, dated 1958.
