Muriel Spark
The Ballad of Peckham Rye
New York: Lippincott, 1960.
First printing.
Despite general aging to the jacket, this is a review copy of Muriel Spark's fourth novel, with the original review slip still intact.
Spark's cruel sense of humor allows her to mock the pretensions of a circle of young people in South London.
The disastrous arrival of an angry Scotsman in the group brings out the devil in everyone.
Hardcover, with worn jacket.
