New York: Simon and Schuster, 1967. First edition, first printing, presentation copy inscribed on the front free endpaper "For Mary, with much love from her old friend, Chris, January 10 1968", and with an autograph letter dated November 1967 to Mary from Isherwood, sent from Santa Monica, California and discussing a friend of hers trying to reach the author, for reasons not mentioned here.
The recipient was Mary Herbold, described by Isherwood in a 1962 letter as "a screaming bore, but she's a lively old thing... and I respect her. She dwells a great deal on her sex adventures, which must have been mostly in the mind". Herbold typed books for the Vedanta Society, including Isherwood's translation of the Bhagavad Gita. He had immersed himself in the study of the Vedanta Scriptures during the Second World War, and was an active member of the Society for the following 35 years, occasionally lecturing at the Hollywood and Santa Barbara temples. A clear influence on this short novel about two brothers meeting on the banks of the Ganges, the one a successful London publisher trying to dissuade the other from taking monastic vows. Octavo. Original dark blue cloth, titles within decorative border in gilt to spine and front board, top edge green, others untrimmed. With dust jacket. Extremities a touch rubbed, the binding otherwise firm and unfaded, a touch of toning to front endpapers, else internally crisp. A near-fine copy in the very good jacket, price-clipped, a hint of wear with minor loss to extremities, faint foxing, else notably bright. Christopher Isherwood, "The Sixties: Diaries Volume Two 1960-1969", p. 186.
