Michael Joseph, Hardcover, Book Condition: Very Good
This is a peculiar item. The 24pp inside are blank save for a hand-lettered half-title, title and introduction page. The boards are covered with original artwork. The brown background and black work are painted, the white titles and other text also painted, the white within the design however is created by scratching through to the board beneath. Although the image has a ring of the neo-romantic about it, the final dustjacket design and other illustrations for the book were done by John Minton and this is not in his style. Nonetheless it is clearly the work of an accomplished hand. Category: Fiction;
