Buy this book on-line ROGER LONGRIGG : Daughters of Mulberry. A novelFaber, London, 1961
First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 264pp. Yellow boards lettered and ornately ruled in red at the spine. A tiny trace of wear to the backstrip ends. The edges spotted, a trace of very light toning and spotting to the free endpapers, and a touch more spotting to a dozen preliminary and concluding leaves. A very good copy in Charles Mozley-designed dust wrapper, non-price-clipped, but lightly toned at the spine panel, with several short closed edge-tears, several tiny slivers of loss from the spine panel ends, and a tiny trace of spotting. The author's fourth novel, a horseracing mystery. My colleague John Francis Phillimore declared in a 1995 interview that he endeavoured to always have copies of 'Daughters of Mulberry' in his (now defund) Clapham shop as it "is the greatest book ever written in any language by anybody. Everyone who has read it agrees with me". There's no knowing how many copies Phillimore was able to scoop up, but it's just conceivable that he may be responsible for the book's great scarcity. Longrigg was born in Edinburgh in 1929. He published over fifty books in his lifetime, in assorted genres and under assorted pseudonyms, perhaps the most celebrated being 'The Passion Flower Hotel' under the name 'Rosalind Erskine'.. Book.
