Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of fab retro jacket and spine, some spotting to back jacket, some yellowing to back jacket, some slight overall time staining, slight lean. Not price clipped (18/-), no inscript…ions, internally clean tight and almost square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 208pp. This first novel by author and theatre director (and Eton schoolboy) David Benedictus (b.1938), was considered controversial when published in 1962 as it describes scenes of violent bullying at Eton College, unrestrained class warfare and suggestions of schoolboy sexuality. It was adapted into a drama, produced in London in 1964 at the St Martin's Theatre. Quite a scarce book. Jacket by Richard Chopping (illustrator).
