Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding
The first edition, first impression.
From the library of Brian Aldiss, with a note loosely inserted regarding the provenance from his daughter, Wendy Aldiss. Aldiss was a popular English science fiction author, an influential writer of the twentieth century. One of his short stories, 'Supertoys Last All Summer Long', was the basis for the Stanley Kubrick - Steven Spielberg 2001 film 'A. I. Artificial Intelligence'. He was part of the British New Wave of sci-fi, and was greatly influenced by H. G. Wells.
An anthology of fourteen short stories by V. S. Pritchett, including 'The Sailor', and 'The Saint', which are two of his best known works.
Other stories in this collection include 'The Oedipus Complex', 'The Chestnut Tree', and 'Pocock Passes'.
