London: Michael Joseph, 1959. Hardback; dust-wrapper. Octavo. First edition. Presentation inscription on the front free endpaper: ‘To Dickson Wright with esteem and so much gratitude Paul Gallico Xmas, 1959.’ Dust-wrapper has a short tear in the front panel, else a very good, clean copy. Arthur Dickson Wright was a highly respected surgeon who may well have had Gallico as a patient.
