Rare Book
The author's debut novel, with an African wartime setting - finding comic potential in the interaction of African troops and English officers, although the blurb to the dustjacket assures us of its 'compassion' (also disassociating it from the personal experience of the author, who had served with the Sudan Service Corps).
FIRST EDITION, final pair of leaves roughly opened pp. 191, crown 8vo, original black boards, backstrip lettered in gilt and slightly pushed at ends, edges faintly spotted, faint partial browning to free endpapers with a couple of spots there also, dustjacket by Edward Bawden, his designs to front and backstrip panels, this supplied and a very bright example, with some vertical creases from storage, very good
