Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback.

Semmens new collection is a loosely structured sequence of surreal fantasies in which famous figures from (mostly) the past sometimes singly, sometimes in unlikely pairings make incongruous, anachronistic appearances in modern settings and situations. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
