Lot Description
EDDISON, E. R.
The worm ouroboros: a romance. London: Jonathan Cape, 1922.Cloth boards, with gilt stamp design to front board and gilt lettering to spine. With full jacket, showing some sunning and minor tears to top of spine. With frontispiece and five full-page illustrations from Keith Henderson. Hinges tender, with cosmetic splits."A most curious story. Here is no photographic realism, no divorces, no drugs, nor neurasthenics, but the humours and splendours of a spacious life, the clash of noble wills and circumstances."
