by MAUND, Alfred
London: Longmans Green, 1959. Hardcover. Very Good. First English edition. A tiny name stamp on the front fly, endpapers, and first and last few leaves quite foxed, else very good or better in very good plus, price-clipped dustwrapper with rubbing, and foxing to the flaps. An uncommon proletarian novel by a little known Southern writer. Six men and a woman, each in flight from the law and their pasts, meet in the darkness of a boxcar for a dangerous journey from the deep South to the North. Something of a minor classic.
