London: Fourth Estate, 1991. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine complete dustjacket. Dubious miracles and confused morals are the stuff of the twelve fables in this entrancing book. The adorable father Boniface achieves sanctity despite a life of exalted sensuality, Sesame O'Hare, a frustrated academic, finds her true calling when she hijacks the career of the illustrious poet A.T. Harrington, Edmund Ignatius MacHugh, the guiding light of the Shambla Seekers, has a Celtic epiphany which dazzles a wealthy American lady but fails to impress the disgruntled locals. Irresistibly funny and full of ticklish ironies, the author leads the reader a merry dance through a world whose hybrid inhabitants take liberties with accepted notions of sanity, intelligence and normality. C3A. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
