by MURRAY, Venetia
New York: Dutton, 1959. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First American edition. Fine in a nice, about fine dustwrapper with a somewhat jagged but relatively unobtrusive tear on the front panel and a small, faint, almost invisible stain. Author's well-received first novel, a slightly more lighthearted take on the Lolita theme. Author was the granddaughter of noted British scholar Gilbert Murray. John Betjeman blurb.
