London: Faber & Faber, 1968. First edition. Hardback. Fine/Very Good. Faber & Faber, London, 1968. First edition. Book condition: near fine with little evidence of use.

Dust jacket condition: very good. Unclipped with very minor shelf wear to head & tail of spine and to edges. Slight discolouration but still bright and clean.

This is a searching assessment of Durrell's work. The Bibliography is by Alan G Thomas, who with Lawrence C Powell was responsible for the first key bibliography of Durrell.
