London, Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1956.
First edition. 8vo. Original green cloth. Dust-jacket, correctly priced 12s6d.
An intriguing combination of authors: “Each of the three ‘tales of imagination’ in this book is by a master of the art, and there is enough incident and invention in each of them to surpass most full-length novels.” (jacket blurb). The Peake tale Boy in Darkness features Titus, from the Gormenghast books.
