About This Item

Victor Gollancz Ltd., London, 1929. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 288 pages (complete). A comfortable copy. This was Moon's first major success. However, the downside was that the book was banned in her birth-town of Strichen, in Aberdeenshire where it was thought the character were too closely aligned to the inhabitants! The boards have scuffing, wear, marks. They are comfortable and steady. The contents are assured. The frontis and end pages have foxing and tanning from age. In general, and by far, the contents are most pleasing. They are creamy, clean, clear, contented, confident, convivial. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.

Synopsis

Originally published in 1929, and subsequently banned in her hometown of Strichen, Scotland, Lorna Moon's novel Dark Star was considered too racy, and hitting too close to home for the small town neighbors who saw themselves in her writings. Dark Star , like it's author, was ahead of it's time. The story is about Nancy, a young girl from a rural Scottish village with extreme fantasies of romance and high lineage. It explores the social structures, sexual interactions, and the hypocracy that surrounds each small village. This book was the author's first, and is the basis for the George Hill film Min and Bill .
