Description

London: Macmillan, 1959. Gold title on blue cloth boards have fading to spinebut no wear. Internally very clean, tight and unmarked. Dustjacket has chipping, wear to edges, soiling to back and is not price-clipped. 246 pages. Daniel Skipton is both an original and an archetype, the eternal genius manque. He is at first sight a comic figure, an expatriate living and starving by turns in the city of Bruges, preying on visitors in the most disreputable and preposterous manner when his finances touch rock bottom: in this book trying to exploit appalling Dorothy Merlin, the verse dramatist, her bookseller husband, Cosmo Hines, her subjugated friends Duncan Moss and Matthew Pryar; and finding out that, despite appearances, they are persons to be reckoned with. Not Book Club. B2C. First. Hard Cover. Very Good/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
