Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus. 1st Edition. First Printing. Signed and inscribed by the author to the actress Mary Kay Stearns (and Johnny) on the front free endpaper. The book would be fine save for foxing of the top, bottom and front of the text block.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 406pp. Orange cloth lettered in black at the spine and upper board with a double blind border and an ornate black-stamped rule. Publisher's disclaimer slip tipped to the head of the first text leaf, as issued. Backstrip ends gently bruised and the free endpapers lightly spotted. A very good copy of the author's uncommon fourth novel. No dust wrapper. Mais' novel includes a thinly-veiled portrait of his old friend Henry Williamson, who appears as 'Brian Stucley', a poet living in North Devon and shares characteristics not dissimilar from some that Williamson's friends found so lamentable in himself. Nearly a decade later Williamson responded in kind, depicting Mais as 'Masterson Funicular Hengist Zeale' ("the only man in England who, having written nearly a hundred books, still has an adolescent enthusiasm for literature") in his 1935 novel 'Devon Holiday': an altogether less unkind portrait.…
