STURGEON, Theodore. The Dreaming Jewels
STURGEON, Theodore. The Dreaming Jewels. London: Victor Gollancz. 1968. 8vo. First British edition. Publisher’s red cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the typical Gollancz jacket. A very good copy, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square. The contents fine but for a few marks to the endpapers. The dust jacket unclipped (21/- net) with a couple of small closed tears, the tips and corners gently bumped, with small ‘x’ to the centre of front panel. Uncommon.
The author’s first novel—originally published in the US in 1950—which was later nominated for a Retro Hugo. Its pairing of science fiction tropes with humanism and character development was somewhat ahead of its time on publication.
