A Time to Laugh by Laurence Thompson (Edward Bawden Dust Jacket)

Thompson’s comic novel about the son of an African chieftain who signs up to fight in the Second World War.  Hardback.  First edition.  No underlining, highlighting or inscriptions.  Binding strong.  Housed in a stunning dust-jacket by Edward Bawden.  Some light foxing and toning to end-papers.  Segments of loss to top edge of dust-jacket’s front panel and a small segment of loss to the base of its spine.  Dust-jacket’s rear panel slightly foxed, otherwise very good.
