Alan Garner – The Owl Service – First UK Edition 1967
£375.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Owl Service’ published by Collins in 1967. A very good book with one name to the title page, in a very good unclipped wrapper with wear, with some spotting to the top edge of the rear panel. Rare in this condition.
“In a secluded Welsh valley ringed by wild mountains, the characters and quarrels of three young people unfold as the tragic legend recurs – of two men who once loved the same girl and killed each other, leaving successive generations to play out the terror of that ancient triangle. A relentless inevitability of events and the brooding power of the supernatural make this an unforgettable book.” Becoming scarce.
