Strange Evil

Descripción

First edition. 256 pages. Inscribed to the verso of the front endpaper: "To Helen With love from Jane Gaskell 26th August 1957". The book is firmly bound in clean black cloth, lettered and decorated in tarnished gilt to the spine, the extremities are a little bumped and rubbed. The text block is slightly age toned, foxed and marked. The dust jacket is the original and not price clipped, it is slightly toned, rubbed and foxed, with minor chips and short closed tears to the edges, some repaired to the reverse with small pieces of thin paper archival tape. A surreal fantasy novel, beginning in 1950s London and removing to the world of the fae, which is a deeply conflicted place. Famously written when Gaskell was only 14 and demonstrating the precocious talent she possessed, which would be fulfilled with her work during the 1960s and 1970s. Not especially uncommon as a first edition but quite rare signed, this copy pleasingly inscribed very shortly after publication. N° de ref. del artículo 6371
