Inscribed by the author on the title-page: 'Louis Marlow - After a delightful afternoon - 7 Sep. 1933'.

The printed dedication is to the author's erstwhile school-friend, T.F. Powys. Whilst at school, the author had cultivated a correspondence with Oscar Wilde, during the latter's exile in France - later associations included Frank Harris and Aleister Crowley.
