Henderson the Rain King

Red cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. Previous owner’s signature and date (’59) in small writing on f.f.e. Neat contemporary bookseller’s sticker (from Foyles) on front paste-down. Sl. soiling of head of text block. Otherwise a clean and tight copy. Sl. sunning to spine of dust cover and edges of flaps browned. *** A beautiful copy of a first UK edition of Bellow’s predecessor to his break-through novel Herzog. A strange, comical novel about the exploits of a naive American millionaire in Africa.
