What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition of the work. In the original unclipped dust wrapper.
In publisher's original black cloth.
A delightful novel from the Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas, unfinished due to his death.
The story is written in a shrewd, sly, deadpan vein of picaresque comedy, about the character Samuel Bennet, who runs away from his home in Wales to seek his fortune in London. Samuel becomes interlaced with a whimsical assortment of odd characters, all while his finger is stuck in an ale bottle.
