One of the rare horror-fantasy novels by "Mark Hansom," the pseudonym of Ronald Muirden. Known for their occult and Gothic themes, Hansom's books are highly prized among collectors of supernatural fiction, with this title listed in Bleiler and Reginald bibliographies. The story blends the sinister and fantastic in pulp-era style, reflecting interwar British horror publishing trends. True firsts in dust-jacket are scarce and command interest amongst collectors of the weird and supernatural.

A very elusive political satire in which a Scottish shirt maker - Andrew McAndrew - corners the market for political shirts. In the novel the author satirises the symbolic power of the shirt with garments whose actual colour imbue the wearer with a political attitude. What’s not to like about a novel that pokes fun at Oswald Mosley’s Fascist Blackshirt movement.
