THE SUDDEN VIEW. A Mexican Journey.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm with a touch of bumping at the base of the spine, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked pictorial dustwrapper that is a little dust-marked. Scarce in the first edition.

The author's first [published] book, a classic of modern travel writing based on a year spent in Mexico after the Second World War.
