WORLD OF WONDERS. New York: The Viking Press, [1976]. Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First U.S. edition. Third novel in the Deptford trilogy, preceded by FIFTH BUSINESS (1970) and THE MANTICORE (1972), in which "a strange murder opens the way for an exploration of hidden longings and fantastical discoveries. Using the realms of magic and myth as haloed the archetypes of Jungian psychology, the characters walk a glittering labyrinth of plot and subplot which leads to self-knowledge and expiation." - Clute and Grant (eds), The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997), p. 252. Publisher's publicity sheet and review slip laid in. Top and fore-edges of text block lightly foxed, a nearly fine copy in nearly fine dust jacket with touch of foxing on inner surface. (#105783).
Price: $65.00
