Rupert Hart-Davis, 1950. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/Good. Light blue coloured cloth covered boards with silver coloured titles to the back strip. Colour illustrated dustwrapper with black coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. A small cast of characters Â– a father who has beggered himself to get his son acquitted of murder, a psychiatrist and his unpleasant wife and the mysterious Mr Byculla Â– he of the mixed parentage and strange background Â– and a well used Â£5 note, which precipitates an intriguing mystery. Softening and fading of the back strip edges with some patchy fading of the top edge and a little to the lower edge Â– commensurate with loss of dustwrapper. Age toning of the text block edges and pages with offset tanning to the end pages. A little chipping of the dustwrapper corners and top back strip edge and a small piece is missing from the top right-hand corner of the rear panel. A previous owner has placed tape across the top and bottom edges of the dustwrapper Â– with the inevitable staining occurring. Size: 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. [4], 5 - 167, [1] pages..
