About This Item

'[Powys] gives not warmth nor enlightenment, but enduring vision, enduring strength, enduring courage' - Henry Miller Cream cloth boards with blue spine. Pictorial dust jacket featuring yellow author's name plaque. Stamped elephant symbol on front board. CONDITION: Like new. Dust jacket in protective poly cover.
