The first edition of this scarce, science-fiction novel surrounding an unassuming British clerk who can see into the future, written by William Holt-White. The first edition. Bound in the publisher's original cloth. Scarce work. Written by British author, journalist and film producer, William Holt-White, who wrote a number of science-fiction novels, as well as being Head of the Editorial Department for 'The War Office' propaganda newsreel in 1917 and 1918. This intriguing science-fiction novel tells the story of a humble British clerk named Mymms who attempts to harness the power of his lucid dreaming in order to predict the future. He soon realises that people want his power for their own use, with the world's rulers, including Teddy Roosevelt, seeking to do just that. Locke, 'A Spectrum of Fantasy', p115.
