Item description from seller

[moderate shelfwear, spine a little turned, top front corner bumped, fading to cloth at top of spine; jacket shows wear and very shallow chipping along top edge, minor paper loss at lower left corner of front panel and at top of spine, light soiling to rear panel]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the ffep by Fay Pomerance, illustrator of the dust jacket, and also the person to whom the author has dedicated the book "in affectionate appreciation of her co-operation and understanding." (See below.) An unusual (and uncommon) wartime fantasy novel, about a two young men who meet untimely, war-related ends -- Vereker, an RAF pilot who's shot down in combat, and Carl, a half-German half-English Jew who's tortured to death in a concentration camp -- and team up in the afterlife to "sally forth on a quest, to destroy the idol of the World, the traditional Moloch, to whom through the centuries the Earth has offered the profane sacrifice of human lives. Their unique condition [i.e. being dead] enables them to chat with St. George, whose sword is drawn for England, in Parliament Square; to listen to a debate in the House of Commons and observe other mundane affairs in the revealing light of stark reality." Jacket illustrator Fay Pomerance (1912-2001) was a noted British-Jewish artist, who "experienced spiritual visions, which informed her dreamlike iconography and complex narratives," and who through her art was very concerned with questions of evil and redemption. Sounds like the perfect person to illustrate this particular dust jacket. The author (1893-?), a clairaudient, psychic writer and lecturer, delved often into the realm of fantasy, and is probably best known for her "Karmic Destiny" trilogy, published between 1944 and 1948, dealing with Atlantis and reincarnation. Signed by Illustrator.

Description de la boutique

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.
