Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first UK edition, first impression.

In the orange variant of the publisher's original price unclipped dust wrapper. Blue and yellow variants were also produced, though there is no known priority.

The novel follows the aloof and wealthy George Smith and his love for a Miss Thomson.

Renata Adler described the work as 'a love story, a melodrama, an unresolved detective story, a melodrama, a soap opera, a vaudeville routine, and a very fine light novel by a stylist who can afford to give considerable rein to his rather quirkish imagination'.
