About This Item
Paris: The Olympia Press, 1962. 8vo, pp.188. Original green stiff wrappers, lettered in black. A little cocked, a little light bumping to corners, otherwise a near fine, unread copy with no creasing to spine. First edition, second issue. Originally written in French and, according to its author, translated into English by a defrocked priest from New Zealand, this free -- very free -- retelling of the Crusoe story ran into immediate legal trouble on its first appearance for Olympia in 1955. This second issue (as scarce as the first) appeared a year before the first French edition, where it was published as part of the Circle du Livre Precieux series. Kearney 5.13.2
