John Wyndham – Chocky – First Edition 1968
£75.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Michael Joseph in London, 1968. This is a very good copy. The dust wrapper, on the front and rear panels, has a black stain to the top corner which casts this down from near fine grading. It has other signs of shelf wear and has been price clipped. The boards are mostly free from notable wear though have slight bumps to the top and bottom edges. It is free from previous owners ink and the text blocks are foxed on the top edge, though otherwise clean. Overall, this is a very good copy of a nice title.
Matthew’s parents are worried. At eleven, he’s much too old to have an imaginary friend, yet they find him talking to and arguing with a presence that even he admits is not physically there. This presence – Chocky – causes Matthew to ask difficult questions and say startling things: he speaks of complex mathematics and mocks human progress…
