Boston: Little, Brown, 1959

8vo, pp. 273. Original mauve boards, lettered in blue to spine. Illustrated dust jacket. Inevitable browning to cheap paper stock, but a very good copy in a very good dust jacket with a little paper loss to centre of rear panel, and wear to spine ends.

First edition, preceding the UK edition of the following year. A Roderick Alleyn title -- one of more than thirty -- and a scarce title in the true first edition.
