The first UK publication of the complete unexpurgated version of Powys' novel. This copy inscribed by Phyllis Playter, Powys' companion for over forty years, on the front free endpaper: "Inscribed by Gwyneth Davies by Phyllis Playter. Remembering our lovely drive and Lon Goed. September 10th 1966". 567pp + iv advertisements for other Powys publications. Red cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with Powys' facsimile signature gold-stamped to the upper board. Top edge lightly spotted, a trace of very light spotting to the free endpapers, and with the merest hint of wear to one or two corner tips. A very good copy in very lightly creased and soiled price-clipped dust wrapper. Originally published in 1934 by Simon & Schuster, a considerably shortened version was issued in the UK a year later under the title 'Jobber Skald'. This present text is a reissue of the original US edition, although with a single minor descriptive alteration (of which Powys approved) and with the inclusion of a list of principle characters, hitherto unpublished..
