Item description from seller

Hardcover in emerald green cloth. 214 pp. Introduction by Clarke. Fine in price clipped dust jacket (but NOT an x-lib copy) a 3/4" chip foot of spine and creasing and wear along the bottom edge of front panel. Second or later printing. Collected here for the first time are two of the earliest extended works of fiction. "The Lion of Comarre", a novella written in 1946, first appeared in a periodical in 1949 but never in book form; "Against the Fall of Night", a novel also completed in 1946, appeared first in a periodical in 1948 and in book form in1953. The novella iss et at the close of the 26th century; the two books have themes in common---in each case the real objectives are wonder and magic rather than any material gain, and in each case the hero is a young man dissatisfied with his environment.
