Signed presentation copy. A stunning first edition of the very scarce seventh novel by this elusive author, centred around the then topical political hot potato of Indian Independence. All of Ladline's early novels are seemingly scarce but this one particularly so. Enhanced still further by the inscription from the author, 'To Anna from Robert Ladline 1937'.

First edition, signed presentation copy from the author, inscribed on the front free endpaper; 8vo; 8pp. advertisements, publisher's cloth, dust-jacket correctly priced at 7/6, some minor edge-wear and light marking, clean split to upper joint near foot of spine but overall a very good example.
