[SOUTHERN, Terry & HOFFENBERG, Mason] KENTON, Maxwell (pseud).
Lollipop.
Paris, Olympia Press, 1962.
Originally published as Candy in 1958, the novel was banned in France a year after its release. As such, new wrappers were printed with the substitute title, Lollipop, and applied to the remaining sheets of the first edition so that the Brigade Mondaine (the French vice squad) wouldn't be able to find the book alphabetically on the 'livre interdit' list. The publishers even went so far as to attribute the Voltaire quotation that opens the book to Rimbaud, successfully thwarting the authorities, particularly for the British export market. This second issue of Lollipop has the substitute title retained, but with the epigram restored and attributed to Voltaire.
Second edition; small 8vo; unmarked internally; publisher's green wrappers, priced at 18 N.F. on rear cover, minor rubbing to extremities, else near-fine.
