Belle.

£95 · Offered by Shapero Rare Books

A fine example of this first novel by an author more well-known for his Broadway adaptations, featuring gleefully morbid jacket artwork by Edward Gorey. First edition, first printing; 8vo; frontispiece by Edward Gorey; original cloth, dust-jacket with artwork by Gorey, small closed tear near upper fore-edge of upper panel, very slightly toned along top edge, but overall a very good copy.
