William Heinemann, London, 1954. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Fair. 250 g; X, 138 pages, last page blank, in decorated dustjacket. Foxing to all edges of the text block, offset tanning to the end pages, foxing to the preliminary few pages, otherwise the text itself is clean and bright. Water stain evident to the external edge of the rear board, the dust jacket is severely foxed, and the front panel is partially detached from the spine, and there is a small piece missing from the lower left-hand corner of the rear panel. These stories are unusual without being consciously eccentric. Delicate in style, sometimes almost ambiguous in emotion, they explore the unexpected predicament, the concealed tragedy or comedy in human affairs. Size: 12mo (Small Hardcover). Dust Jacket price-clipped. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams. Category: Fiction; Fiction -- Short Stories; Inventory No: 0214598. .

Illustrator: Paul Cox. 325 g; colour illustrated end pages, plus 13 double colour illustrated pages and 13 double black-and-white illustrated pages. The illustrations and the text are arranged to complement each other. (I find the illustrations strongly reminiscent of the illustrations for Tin Tin). Dylan Thomas brilliantly captures the holiday mood of Welshmen on a spree, three for one day in the year to indulge in loud singing, the swapping of outrageously tall stories and a positive ocean of beer. -- in Australia we call this a pub crawl.
