The sole UK printing published by the Hogarth Press in 1948. The book is in Very Good++ or better condition with moderate toning and spotting to the end papers and text block. The pages are clean. Number '11' of only 750 copies issued. Numbered and signed by the author to the limitation page as called for. Five full page B/W plates by Lucian Freud which are all in wonderful clean condition. The buckram-backed marbled boards and leather spine are very sharp with light rubbing to the edges and corners. The gilt titling remains bright. Slight pushing at the spine ends. Free from inscriptions and erasures. The elusive printed Glassine WRAPPER is present and is lacking the spine section. There are some losses to the spine area to the rear panel. It has some edge wear, chipping and creasing in places - see images. The front flap with the printed title and price is present. The wrapper is extremely scarce and fragile, and few have survived. The book and wrapper are protected in the removable Mylar archival cover and presents very well. 'William Sansom was once described as London's closest equivalent to Franz Kafka. He wrote in hallucinatory detail, bringing every image into pin-sharp focus.He fell from favour, but now there is a movement to rediscover his finest works.' (The Independent). Scarce with such attributes. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.

The First UK printing published by Peter Davies, London in 1945. The BOOK is in Very Good++ or better condition with just some very light pushing at the spine tips. Light fading to the spine ends corresponding to the losses to the wrapper spine. Free from inscriptions and erasures. A small neat bookseller sticker to the lower front pastedown. The WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good+ condition. Some losses to the spine ends and the lower front edge. Mild edge-wear with some nicks, light creasing and minor losses. The unattributed wrapper artwork remains striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. The book, the author's first novel, was printed in conformity with the authorised war economy standards and is a very scarce survivor. It is highly likely that the book would have been printed in a small print run. I can only see one copy having appeared at auction in the last 30 years, and it is unclear as to whether that copy had a wrapper or not. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books…
