About This Item
London,, 1940. First Edition. Hardback. No Dust Jacket.. Remains of book label on the front lower board, otherwise very good.. 8vo. pp 292. Soundly rebound in pale brown cloth, lettered black on spine. Odd novel, not in Hubin. ""In order to give to his book the outward seeming of a best seller, and thereby to acquire virtue, the author had found it necessary to introduce a corpse into the first chapter. But to be perfectly frank with his public, he feels bound to add that no great excitement follows on the discovery; nor does a subsequent series of deaths enliven the pages for those readers who seek that particular escape into life. On the other hand, the larger part of the book is concerned with a study in resurrection.""
