London, Michael Joseph, 1962
The author's masterpiece, and one of the greatest South African novels of the century. This first edition was produced in a larger format than Lessing's other works of that vintage and, as a result, the top edges on most copies typically exhibit wear.
First edition, first impression; 8vo; publisher's black, boards, titles to spine gilt, with the dust jacket, one or two spots to the fore edge, mild partial browning to the endpapers, a very good copy in the frayed and somewhat chipped dust jacket.
