About the Author
Ithell Colquhoun was born in India in 1906 but beyond this it is difficult map the facts of her life. She was educated at Cheltenham College and the Slade School of Art. As a Surrealist she experimented with automatism, decalmania, frottage and collage techniques, and invented parsemage (or powdering). Her involvement with alchemy and the occult forced her departure from the English Sub Group in 1940. Today her works are held by Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool, the National Portrait Gallery and many major municipal museums. As a writer she has been favourably compared to William Blake and Walter dela Mare the latter even declaring his admiration for her work before his death. For Peter Owen, in addition to Goose of Hermogenes she authored two travel books on Ireland and Cornwall which deal extensively with mythology and Celtic legend. She lived in Cornwall for the later part of her life and died in 1988.

Éditions Peter Owen - London 2003 - Broché, comme neuf, 130x200, 154 gr, 115 pages, Anglais, ISBN : 0720611776 - The heroine of this story is complelled to visit a mysterious uncle who turns out to be a black magician who lords over a kind of prospero's Island that exists out of time and space. Starlted by this bizarre behaviour and odd nocturnal movements, she eventually learns that he is scarching for the philosopher's stone. However one wants to approach this obscur tale, it remains today as vividly unforgetable and disturbing as when it was first published by peter owen in 1961. L'héroïne de cette histoire est obligée de rendre visite à un oncle mystérieux qui s'avère être un magicien noir qui règne sur une sorte d'île de prospérité qui existe hors du temps et de l'espace. Surpris par ce comportement bizarre et ces étranges mouvements nocturnes, elle finit par apprendre qu'il cherche la pierre philosophale. Quelle que soit la façon dont on veut aborder cette histoire obscure, elle reste aujourd'hui aussi inoubliable et troublante que lorsqu'elle a été publiée pour la première fois par Peter Owen en 1961. ​ Seller Inventory # 5613
