About This Item
London: The Bodley Head, (1967). First edition, first printing. This is a very near fine copy. The dust wrapper is pristine and highly presentable, nicely designed by Stephen Russ. There is slight internal toning to the flaps, but it has not been price clipped (21s net). The boards are free from wear though slightly bumped at one corner. It is free from previous owner's ink and though not foxed, the text blocks are so slightly marked in places. This is a very near fine copy.
This collection of twelve stories belongs to what Greene himself often described as entertainments. The stories are quite diverse, ranging as they do in gender, location and era and in genre, from farce to melodrama to tragedy and occasionally all of those genres at once.
