Alan Garner – The Owl Service – First UK Edition 1967
£285.00
A first edition, first printing published by Collins in 1967. A very good book without inscriptions, in a very good unclipped wrapper with wear, chipping and rubbing to the edges and corners. Closed tear to the spine foot “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.
