Book
Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Previous owner's name on first leaf. ; 567, [1 (blank)] pages + [4] pages advertisements. Page dimensions: 197 x 129mm. With an Introduction by Angus Wilson. "'Weymouth Sands' is the third in the great quartet of Powys's Dorset novels, the others being 'Wolf Solent,' 'A Glastonbury Romance' and 'Maiden Castle'. In drawing on his vivid childhood memories of the seaside town of Weymouth Powys created a wealth of characters and showed his deep sympathy for the variety, the eccentricity, the essential loneliness of human beings. Magnus Muir the Latin teacher, Sylvanus Cobbold the nature mystic, Adam Skald the Jobber, Dog Cattistock the brewer: these are especially memorable characters. But this is not all; the town of Weymouth, the sea, the sands, the stones of Chesil Beach are as much characters as the human beings." - from blurb on rear cover.
