About This Item
London : New Fiction Press, [1953]. First edition : a secondary issue, with none of the forty-four earlier Janson titles listed on the lower wrapper shown as still being in preparation. Published in January 1953 - the subject of twenty-three local authority destruction orders - and one of the seven books featured in the January 1954 obscenity trial of the publishers and distributors. At the subsequent February 1955 trial, Frances himself was acquitted on the grounds that some of these books, including the present title, may have been written in whole or in part by the editor, Geoffrey Pardoe, who had died in May 1953. Later republished as "Flight from Fear" under the Alexander Moring imprint in1958. Crown 8vo (19cm). 143,[i]pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers - a Reginald Heade blonde shrieking over her shoulder; just a hint of creasing to spine, staples just a little rusted, but a very good copy indeed. Just a single copy (British Library) located in major libraries worldwide. Williams & Holland 44.
