About This Item
London: Hamish Hamilton. 1946. First UK edition, first printing. First UK edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Roger Furse illustrated dustwrapper. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth faded to the spine and edge of the rear board. The contents, with a previous owner's circular embossed stamp to the bottom of the half title and the unavoidable toning to the war-time economy paper-stock are clean throughout. Complete with the rubbed and dusty price-clipped dustwrapper that darkened to the spine and otherwise without loss or tears. Signed by Roald Dahl in black ink on the front endpaper. Roald Dahl's second book and first book of adult fiction, a collection of ten short stories based on his experiences in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
