First edition, first printing. Original blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the John Craxton illustrated dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with a touch of bumping at the head of the spine, the cloth is bright and fresh. The contents, with some spotting to the top edge of the closed text-block, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper that is very slightly toned at the spine and edges. Not price-clipped (25s net to the front flap).
A philosophical melodrama about a priest who has lost his faith. The author's tenth novel.
