The scarce true first edition of Connolly's first and only novel. With a six-page introductory dedication by the author to Peter Quennell amusingly outlining the reasons it was repeatedly rejected for publication in England before being issued by Jack Kahane's celebrated Obelisk Press. 8vo. 247pp. Card wrappers, tanned and just a little spotted and grubby. Front wrapper just a little tender. Spine marred by several readership creases and a small stain to the base. Small dealer plate to base of the front wrapper. A good, bright copy of a very scarce volume. "Connolly whispered to me that he had written a book . I at once offered to put it out . it was as sweet a piece of writing as ever I have seen, the work of an exquisite, steeped in the classics, and in certain ways a model of impropriety . I had the utmost pleasure in being responsible for the appearance of a piece of such wit and distinction" - Jack Kahane, 'Memoirs of a Booklegger'. Pearson A41.. Book. Book Condition: Good.
