Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Wrappers. Spine, and covers partially, faded. Edition limited to 240 copies, this copy inscribed by the author, "For Margaret Drabble from Steven Runciman"; printed by Will Carter at the Rampant Lions Press. Diverting story written in 1935 about an expedition into the Kurdish mountains to find the Garden of Eden; dedicated to Dadie Rylands. "'Professor[,]' cried Dr Grumpin, 'Professor, could I not just have a glimpse at the animals?' 'I don't see why not,' said the Professor amiably . . . and [he] ran back into the woods. Soon his voice rang out with the call that he had used long ago in his boyhood in the Highlands to summon the cows to their milking. There was grunting and squeaking and trampling in the undergrowth; and he appeared at the head of a long procession . . . There were dragons and unicorns, hippogriffs and basilisks, wyverns and chimaeras and all the creatures whose memory human tradition has preserved in defiance of the scientists. There was nothing that resembled in any way those careful models at South Kensington . . . Dr Grumpin could hardly speak from emotion. 'So we were all wrong, all wrong,' he murmured.". Inscribed by Author(s).

About 150 words in all. One card has a printed drawing of his house in Lockerbie - Elshishields. Very good indeed. Signedes.
