First Edition. Uncommon account, allegedly based on a true story, of an Englishman's efforts to survive in France for 6 weeks by engaging in a variety of sporting pursuits and living solely off his winnings. Wonderful cover art, suggesting that this is a fantasy novel - which it isn't.
Smooth grey linen with polychrome illustration by Michelet and lettering in blue. Uncut edges, decorative end-papers. Minor bumping and soiling but an unusually well-preserved copy of a very scarce work.
G. Michelet (illustrator).
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
