Grey cloth with gilt lettering interspersed with green circles to spine. Spine slightly cocked, wear to heel, bruising to top corners. POI to ffep, contents lightly shaken. Else, clean and bright. Though defective, scarce with Read's signature. New edition of Read's only novel, originally published in 1935 by Heinemann, and here fittingly paired with Felix Kelly's gently surreal illustrations. Written when he lived in Hampstead amidst the 'nest of gentle artists' (including Henry Moore) and in the same year as his extended 'Appreciation' of the sculptor appeared, the novel testifies to the critic's broad set of theoretical influences, particularly the psychoanalytic mysticism of Carl Jung. As well as designing dust jackets for authors such as Naomi Jacob and collections like Faber's Best Tales of Terror (1962), the New Zealand-born artist was often commissioned to produce paintings for grand houses in the UK and US, with the most well-know being the murals in the Garden Hall at Castle Howard, North Yorkshire. Read would return the favour and provided an introduction to a slim volume of Kelly's paintings published by Falcon Press in 1946.
