A charming first edition with original dust-jacket of Thomas Hinde's debut novel. Published a year after his marriage to the fellow novelist, Susan Hopkinson (herself daughter of the novelist, Antonia White), this novel was well received and prompted its author's career as a fiction and then a non-fiction writer. The London Review of Books called Mr. Nicholas 'exquisitely glum and fearingly funny'.

Hinde's second novel, Happy As Larry, retained this disaffected humorous tone, and was excerpted in the popular paperback anthology, Protest: The Beat Generation and the Angry Young Men, placing its author in the circles of counter culture and mid-century intellectual history.

First edition; 8vo; publisher's brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt, a very good copy with uncut pictorial dust-jacket, lettering on spine lightly faded, dust-jacket browned on spine panel, light rubbing to corners especially on upper spine panel, offsetting on jacket verso and light stains on back panel; 271pp.
