Sobre este item
London: Chatto & Windus, 1968. About fine./Good.. Octavo. Brown gilt cloth. Former owner's neat signature and date on front free endsheet, else about fine, in a provocative unclipped dust jacket designed by John Ward that has a rumple along the top edge and a small closed tear.
First edition. "Murdoch's eleventh novel -- her longest and most richly peopled -- is a domestic comedy revolving around a happily married couple ... " -- from the book flap. If you have read Murdoch you won't be surprised that flying saucers, violent death involving blackmail and suspected espionage, a disused crypt under Whitehall used for the Black Arts, people trapped in a cave with the tide coming in, etc., are the makings of a domestic comedy.
