Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed, Very Scarce
The first edition.
Signed by the author to the half title.
Very scarce work.
Bound in the publisher's original cloth, lacking the dust wrapper.
The debut novel of British poet, television and radio producer, Lancelot de Giberne Sieveking, who worked with the BBC between 1925 and 1956, producing numerous radio plays, including those by H. G. Wells and Jules Verne.
This intriguing, fantastical novel surrounds the improper usage of a thought-machine, used by some to place telepathic commands in the minds of others.
Illustrated with charming vignettes and a colour frontispiece by the author's godfather, the renowned G. K. Chesterton.
With two pictorial bookplates from Peter John Freeman.
