London: Faber and Faber, 1964. Very Good +/Very Good. London: Faber and Faber, 1964. First U.K. Edition. Small octavo; publisher's cloth in decorative price-clipped dust jacket; 96pp. Just a hint of wear and toning to jacket and cloth extremities, however marked up with previous owner's signature on front free endpaper and rather extensive thick green ink underlining and marginalia throughout. Very Good overall, evidently a carefully cherished volume that maintains its shelf appeal while internally shows heavy use.

Early mid-career novel from Wilson Harris (1921-2018), set among the gold-panning "pork-knockers" of the rivers of the author's native Guiana.
