8vo., Second Impression, with title-vignette, plates and illustrations in the text; red cloth, upper board blocked in gilt, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter with loss at upper edge of front panel and chipped at head and tail of backstrip.
Published a month after the first edition. Crisp copy of Durrell's engaging account of his time in Cyprus during the troubled years of 1953-56. It is a wonderful study of moods and atmospheres; the house-buying episode is justly regarded as a comic masterpiece.
