A HOUSE IN ORDER
by Nigel Dennis First U.S. edition. A near fine copy; in a near fine dust jacket with modest shelf wear and rubbing. Dust jacket flap retains the original price of $4.95. The author's third and final novel. "A quizzical pleasure. This civilized conundrum is about a nameless man captured in a timeless war in an anonymous country who manages to survive in a greenhouse, where he is most protected as well as most exposed. An antiseptic little man, a cartographer by profession, a horticulturist by avocation, he spends a first night in an abandoned, mucky greenhouse and is very happy to be permitted to stay on there, tending his 283 plants. However he lives in the fear that every day will be his last." Kirkus Review. PLEASE VIEW FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS! |
