CLARK, Laurence. Kingdom Come (signed)
CLARK, Laurence. Kingdom Come. London Centaur Press. 1958. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s cream cloth lettered in dark brown to spine, in the attractive dust jacket designed by Michael ffolkes. This copy inscribed by the author at front endpaper. A sharp copy, the cloth clean with some faint offset spots to the spine pane, the binding tight and square. A few singular spots to the textblock top edge, but the contents fine. The dust jacket unclipped (15s net) and complete, with some rather mild rubbed areas along extremities, small closed tear and tiny nick to spine head. A nice example.
The relatively obscure author’s first novel, and the first novel published by the publishers, they declare proudly at front flap. The novel is a satire on, as the title and illustration suggests, the waning British Empire in India. Clark went on to publish mostly non-fiction, mostly satirical works on British and American politics.
