First edition. 8vo. Original blue cloth. Dust-jacket, priced 7/6. Considered one of Oppenheim's best works, opening with a fantastic description of the boring life of Mr Peter Cradd,and the transformation he undergoes when he inherits a fortune. A useful insight into middle class life in England in the thirties, and the dreams of downtrodden. A nice Bip Pares jacket to boot. Cloth very slightly sunned at spine, but really a very good copy, in slightly dust-soiled jacket with a few very minor closed tears. Seller Inventory # 84936
