Scamp. This item is unavailable.Scamp

A first edition, first printing of 'Scamp' published by John Lehmann in 1950. A very good (or better) book with one neat name to the front endpaper. Light toning to the page block. In a very good unclipped wrapper with light edge chipping and one thin chip to the head of the spine. Two small pink stains to the bottom of the rear panel. Roland Camberton (1921-1965) was a British writer whose real name was Henry Cohen, though his family also knew him as Harry. He won the 1951 Somerset Maugham Award, given to authors under the age of 35, for this novel. Exceptionally rare.
