First edition, first printing. Original green cloth with silver titles to the spine, in the Ralph Thompson illustrated dustwrapper. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth to the upper panel a little rippled and one small scuff to the bottom edge. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper which has a couple of short closed tears and small chips at the extremities. Not price-clipped (16s net to the front flap). An attractive example.
The first and best known book in the author's autobiographical 'Corfu trilogy', a classic and the basis of several successful television adaptations.
