TYLER, Poyntz. A Garden of Cucumbers
TYLER, Poyntz. A Garden of Cucumbers. London: Gollancz. 1961. 8vo. First British edition following the American edition a year prior. Tyler’s most famous work, adapted to Hollywood in 1967 by Isobel Lennart, with the title ‘Fitzwilly’. A devious tale of one determined and highly intelligent butler and the nefarious schemes he runs to ensure his mistress remains oblivious to the fact the family fortune is no more. A very good book, the red cloth clean, the binding tight with a gentle lean, spots to the textblock but internally fine but for a bookplate of Colin Crole to the front endpaper. The dust jacket clipped, with some small nicks, chips and rubbing to most corners and edges, some all-round grubbiness typical of Gollancz yellow jackets, but certainly presentable and very scarce indeed.
