Beschreibung

First Edition (first printing) of the author's first book. 8vo. 276pp. Cloth-backed boards, with gilt lettering and rule. Just a hint of chafing to the cloth at the spine ends, and some spotting to the top- and fore edges, endpapers and to several preliminary and concluding leaves. Upper hinge just a little tender. A small area of staining to the head of the first text leaf, and a single other text leaf poorly cut resulting in two small area of loss (but leaving the text unaffected). No dust wrapper. A nice, bright copy of the author's uncommon first book - a collection of fifteen stories which upon publication was savagely attacked by Welsh critics (he was thereafter widely known as "the best hated man in Wales"), but is now deemed a significant early cornerstone of modern Anglo-Welsh literature.
