Publication details: Anthony Blond,1961,
Rare Book
A scarce Oxford novel - the winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in the year of publication and of note as the earliest of three important novels on mental illness at the beginning of this decade, followed by Kesey's 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' and 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath (as Victoria Lucas); indeed, Plath is known to have read the present work at the beginning of 1963 (the year 'The Bell Jar' was published), asking her friend Jillian Becker to collect it for her from her flat in Primrose Hill.
FIRST EDITION, pp. 176, crown 8vo, original brown patterned-paper boards, the backstrip lettering in gilt, dustjacket slightly rubbed and nicked at extremities, very good
