Description
8vo., First Edition thus, with plates; yellow cloth, backstrip lettered in brown, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper lightly browned at backstrip. Published a year after the first edition. Crisp copy of Durrell's engaging account of his time in Cyprus during the troubled years of 1953-56. It is a wonderful study of moods and atmospheres; the house-buying episode is justly regarded as a comic masterpiece.
