About This Item
New York: Archway/Pocket Books, 1999. First Edition, First Printing. . Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine to Fine. The third Finnegan Zwake novel by Dahl is a humorous bibliomystery in which Finnegan and his mystery writing uncle are off to Occo (located between Lesser Occo and Morocco). Uncle Stoppard has been nominated for the most prestigious award in mysterydom -- the Ruby Raven, an award worth a million dollars and a carved bird with rubies for eyes and a ruby pendant around its neck. Of course it could be a little dangerous if, like Finn, you're nervous about that explosion as he and Uncle left for the airport, or the cobra he found in his hotel room. Paperback Original, True First Printing, First Edition. Text is clean, tight and square; pictorial wrappers show only minor surface and edgewear.
