St Marys Books

J.G. Ballad's semi-autobiographical novel about the experiences of a British boy during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai. Published by The Folio Society with an introduction by William Boyd. Bound in beige cloth with a striking printed paper-covered front board designed by Tim Laing. In very good condition with the front cover clean and bright. Housed in a bright red slipcase which shows no wear. There is a minor blemish to the fore-edge of the text block otherwise free of any further marks. Rich red endpapers with no inscriptions or bookplates. Pages appear unread with no marks or inscriptions with illustrations by Tim Laing throughout. pp. 28. Overall a lovely copy that would make an ideal gift.
