FIRST EDITION, pp. 252, 24 [Publisher's catalogue], crown 8vo, original blue cloth, lettered in white to upper board and backstrip, light spotting to edges and endpapers, dustjacket with a design by Diana Younger (see below), a little chipping at extremities and some very gentle dustsoiling, very good. The author is identified as 'Mrs Dennis Wheatley' on the title-page; the book is a family affair - its dustjacket-design is by the author's daughter, from her first marriage, Diana Younger, whilst the poem used as its epigraph is the work of W.A. Younger - this being 'Bill', Wheatley's cherished stepson. Wheatley had first made her acquaintance in 1929, as a customer in the wine shop he had inherited from his father - it was she who encouraged him to pursue an alternative career as a writer. A scarce book, a love story set in Hungary.
