1948. First English edition. 139 pages. Pictorial dust jacket over green cloth. Pages with some foxing and tanning, particularly to endpapers and textblock edges. Binding remains firm. Boards have light shelf wear with minor corner bumping and crushing to spine ends. Unclipped jacket has moderate edge wear with tears, chips, and some areas of loss. Noticeable rubbing and marking.
There is almost nothing that really happens here. I could narrate all the events the plot contains in about six sentences. The rest is psychotorture and nature descriptions.
