About This Item
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1938. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. A sequel to the author's first book, Mr. Finchley Discovers his England (1934), and the second of three comic novels featuring the London solicitor's clerk. Canning (1911-86) flourished as a prolific British writer of thrillers during the postwar years. He is perhaps best remembered for his novel The Rainbird Pattern (1972), which inspired the Alfred Hitchcock film Family Plot (1976). Octavo. Original green cloth binding, with black titles. In the uncommon dust jacket, which is a bit edgeworn with a few tiny tape mends to the verso; else very good or better.
