About This Item
London : Longmans, Green & Co., (1961). First edition. A review copy, with the publisher's slip loosely inserted. The vagaries of the human heart and the four viewpoints of Penry Crendon (forgotten author and vagrant), his first wife Elizabeth (the devout Catholic), Mona his third (whose weaknesses are vulgarity and the bottle), and Blanche (the woman of sensibility engaged to his son). "She has helped explode the dying myth that the novel is becoming extinct" (John Betjeman).
Post 8vo (21cm). x,(212),[ii]pp. Original orange-red boards, lettered in gilt; a very good copy in the original Barbara Jones dust-jacket – a design in yellow, orange, brown and black on white – just lightly nicked, with one unobtrusive short tear, and a little fingered on rear panel. Contemporary ownership inscription of Wendy Marlar.
