About This Item
London: Chatto & Windus, 1964. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. A neat, bright copy of the first UK edition, first impression. Octavo in publisher's original grey boards with gilt title and credits to spine, 288 pages. Introduction by Richard Hughes. Small, neat previous owner's signature to title page. Dustjacket is bright and very presentable, but has a few very small chips, closed tears & light soiling to rear panel. Originally published in 1927, this is a brilliant and youthful satiric novel. Set on a rich widow's steam launch stuck on a mud bank in a mosquito-ridden lagoon where bright young things gush on about art and love. A very nice copy of Faulkner's second novel.
