About this Item
First American Edition of Lawrence Durrell's uncommon second novel, set on an imaginary Greek island reminiscent of Corfu, to which Durrell and his young wife had relocated from England in 1935. Crown 8vo (203 x 129mm): 372pp. Publisher's beige cloth, spine and upper cover lettered in red and stamped with green leaf device, top edge stained green; illustrated dust jacket priced $2.50. About Fine (top edge mildly faded, spine very lightly toned), tightly bound and virtually pristine (lightly read, if at all). About Fine jacket (archivally mended short closed tears to back spine and flap folds), crisp and bright. Potter & Whiting 14. Originally published the same year, by Faber & Faber in London; the publisher suggested the pseudonym, because Durrell's conventionally autobiographical first novel, Pied Piper of Lovers, had been a failure. N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.
