Prisoners in The Riff

New York: Exposition Press. Good in Good dj. (c.1956). First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . [considerable shelfwear to bottom edge, fading to cloth at top edge; jacket is edgeworn, with a tiny chip at the top front hinge, and had apparently gotten wet along the spine at some time, with some resulting dampstaining along the left edge of the front panel (obscured a bit by the jacket design) and some internal staining at and adjacent to the spine]. Obscure vanity-press novel, "narrated against the background of the rebellion of Riffian tribesmen in Spanish Morocco," which "captures the suspense and adventure of colonial warfare and the exotic atmosphere in Morocco." The British-born author was a retired Methodist minister, who (per the jacket blurb) held "the honor of having had four poems accepted in Poets of America (1940-41)." And really, seriously: how many Methodist ministers can make that claim? OCLC records only five copies, all in American libraries. .
