Rarely found in the original dustwrapper. This book was part of a series produced by Bodley Head at that time, and any bookshop worth its name would have two or three of the series on its shelves. However, this book has for some reason now become somewhat scarce.

This copy is surprising in that it has no foxing whatever to the pages, in spite of its age.
