Sobre este artículo
London: Faber & Faber, 1943 . First edition. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. 7.5" by 5". None. An uncommon first edition of this interesting novel in which the past meets the present, written by Stephen Gilbert. First edition, in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original, unclipped dust wrapper.Scarce to see in this condition. This intriguing novel is set during summer on the quiet Irish coast, when a landslide occurs, uncovering seeds, eggs and sleeping creatures of the primeval age. Under the blazing sun, these creatures and plants develop rapidly, later becoming discovered by a small boy called Wolfe. Despite the creatures being benevolent, they disrupt the order of the quiet fishing town. Written by Northern Irish novelist and activist, Stephen Gilbert, who was labelled by E. M. Forester as "a writer of distinction". In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with minor shelf wear and a touch of fading to the head and tail of the spine. Dust wrapper is also excellent, with light edge wear to the head and tail of the spine, and a little sunning to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean. Fine
