First edition in English, first printing. Publisher's original purple cloth with silver titles to the spine, in the Gemma Nisbett illustrated dustwrapper. Top edge dark blue. A very good copy, the binding firm, the spine just a touch rolled, the cloth is bright and fresh. The contents, with some spotting to the front and rear endpapers, and closed text block edge, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked, price-clipped dustwrapper that has a foxing spot to the front flap and a little dustiness to the edges. Scarce.
The first printing of the multi-award winning Hungarian author's first book to be published in the English language. Translated from the Hungarian by Kathleen Szasz.
