First edition, first issue, with 'The long day lengthens' in the dedicatory poem and with Beau appearing to be overweight in the illustration facing page 18. Extremely rare in the original dust-jacket, and especially in such good condition; the jacket has also preserved wonderfully the brightness of the original cloth and decorative gilt underneath.
