The Childermass; Monstre Gai; Malign Fiesta.
London, Methuen, 1956-55.
Wyndham Lewis' trilogy The Human Age, comprising The Childermass (originally published in 1928), and Monstre Gai and Malign Fiesta, which were published together in 1955, in response to a request from the BBC for Wyndham Lewis to complete the work for broadcast purposes, on the condition that the radio dramatisation was given precedence. An attractive pair of the first illustrated edition.
First edition & first edition thus respectively; 2 vols, 8vo; illustrations by Michael Ayrton, publisher's cloth, dust-jackets by Ayrton, some minor chips & nicks, overall very good.
