Wanting the rare dust jacket. Spine lightened a degree or two, else an excellent example, tightly bound and clean throughout. Wobbe A4b. Miller 9b.

London: William Heinemann Ltd, 1931. First Edition. First Impression, one of 1,200 copies. Octavo (19cm); maroon cloth, with titles stamped in gilt on spine, and decorative elements embossed onto front cover; [viii],300pp. Spine ends gently nudged, with a faint suggestion of foxing to a few preliminary and terminal leaves, else remarkably clean throughout; Near Fine, with the cloth quite even in color, and without the usual heavy wear. Lacking the rare dustjacket. An attractive copy of Greene's third novel, set toward the end of the First Carlist War.

Description:
Heinemann, London., 1931. First edition. Octavo. pp [viii], 300. The author's third novel which, like his second The Name of Action, proved to be a failure artistically and commercially. After the publication of the American edition in 1932 he never allowed the book to be reprinted. Very good in the very scarce dustwrapper which is rubbed, torn and defective, albeit 90% present. The extensive tears have been sympathetically repaired on the reverse.
