In den WarenkorbFirst edition, first impression; 8vo; neat ink name to front free endpaper, bookseller's small label to foot of rear pastedown; publisher's brick orange cloth, mild rolling to spine, very slight mottling, dust-jacket with artwork by Conway Martin, very minor rubbing to extremities but overall very good. A delightfully jacketed first edition, with artwork by the pavement artist 'Conway Martin', a.k.a. Alfred Lowe, an artist & illustrator who had spent time as a caricaturist for the Westminster Gazette. The jacket blurb's synopsis of the book almost reads as a prototype for Jeanette Winterson's Oranges are not the Only Fruit, above & beyond its pomological allusion; '.the tragedy of any European girl facing life and sex with no other guidance than the self-righteous misinterpretation of holy writ by an inhibited mother.' The author it seems feels such an upbringing compares unfavourably to the 'more open morality and erotic teaching of the oriental from Suez to Yokohama.'.
