The Green Child

First thus.  138pp, with four colour plate illustrations.  Grey cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine.  8vo.  CLoth a little rubbed and browned at edges, slightly rounded and frayd on corners and spine ends.  Previous owner’s name inked on the front paste down.  Mild toning and some spotting to endpapers else internally neat, clean and tight.

Herbert Read’s only novel, first published by Heinemann a decade earlier but here bought to life by the elegant fantasy illustrations of Felix Kelly.
