Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of dark green jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed, some slight spotting to page fore edges, not price clipped (9s 6d), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 154pp. The book largely takes the form of a rustic dialogue in the manner of Thomas Love Peacock, though the main characters are spokesmen of Joad's own (weird!) tastes, prejudices, quirks, what not. One reads the chapters, almost forgetting the characters, in order to follow the lively discussions on the spoiling of the countryside, the Welfare State, English cooking, English politics, the delusions about progress, and the low contemporary British standards in writers and musicians. Cyril Edwin Mitchinson Joad (1891-1953), was a philosopher, weirdo (my description!), spiritualist, anti feminist, Labour candidate and broadcasting personality. He appeared on The Brains Trust, a BBC Radio wartime discussion programme, and popularised philosophy and became a celebrity, before his downfall in a scandal over an unpaid train fare in 1948. The author's last book, published posthumously.
