Light dust soiling to upper edge of text block. Very slight lean to spine and some faint toning to page edges. Dust jacket: very good. Unclipped. A little edge wear and some sporadic light soiling.

It was, of course, art which first took him from home. When he left the Royal College of Art, he taught at Rugby School for seventeen years before leaving to become a full-time writer.
