Williamson, Henry — The Scandaroon

Macmillan 1972 1st edition. Imitation cloth, dj, VG/VG. 152pp, b/w illustrations by Ken Lilly, page margins a little yellowed, dustjacket price clipped otherwise a fine copy. Williamson's nature story about a pigeon which was begun in 1955, but put aside ( at the suggestion of John Middleton Murry ) so he could concentrate on his opus 'A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight'. Once that 15 volume novel cycle was completed in 1971, Williamson returned to the pigeon book & completed it.
