Boldly signed by Durrell on the title page in 1985, the signed note by him written on his printed calling card reads, ' Please Note I shall be in London May 15 for ten days, I hope at Alan Thomas' in case Gerry wishes to contact me yours Larry'.

First edition, first impression, signed and dated by the author with a signed note by him laid in; 8vo; publisher's purple cloth, titles to spine gilt, with the dust jacket, endpapers rather browned but a very good copy in the somewhat nicked, rubbed and sunned, price-clipped dust jacket missing a very small piece at the top of the spine panel.
