PRAGNELL, Festus. The Green Man of Kilsona
PRAGNELL, Festus. The Green Man of Kilsona. London: Philip Allan. 1936. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s green cloth lettered in black to the spine, lacking the scarce dust jacket. Illustrious bibliophile George Locke’s copy, with his ‘ex-spectrum’ bookplate label to the front pastedown; taking its name from his much-cited ‘Spectrum of Fantasy’ collection. The novel itself revolves around the discovery of an ‘inhabited planet of the microcosm’. A very good copy, the cloth slightly bumped at corners and tips, especially so to top of spine and to the rear joint, but the binding tight with a gentle lean. Textblock edges slightly marked, some light toning within and a handful of light scattered foxing to prelims, else clean. Uncommon, and very collectible having such weighty provenance.
