1953 · London
by ROWDON, Maurice
London: Chatto and Windus, 1953. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Scattered foxing to the page edges and the first and last few leaves, else about fine in a near fine, price-clipped dustwrapper. Novel of a clown trying to make a comeback after WWI. Our suggestion? Start with a stage name that doesn't make kids soil themselves. A towering classic of clown fiction. Very scarce. (Inventory #: 79555)
