Westport, Connecticut: Hyperion Press, Inc., 1976 . Octavo, cloth. First U.S. edition. Text offset from that of the 1938 John Murray edition. A spaceship from another world contains an egg that hatches into an intelligent lizard. This was the first story that attempted to use an alien visitor as an objective observer to comment on the state of contemporary human civilization, and is rather more sympathetic than most work
