"YOU'RE IMAGINING IT! YOU'RE MAD! YOU'RE HYPNOTIZED!"

WHITE, T.H. The Master. An Adventure Story. London: Jonathan Cape, 1957. Octavo, original blue cloth, original dust jacket. $350.

First edition of White "adventure story"—a beautiful copy in the scarce original dust jacket.

"Twelve-year-old twins Nicky and Judy and their dog Jokey are marooned on Rockall island, but their parents believe they have drowned. They are held prisoner inside the rock where 'The Master' is hatching terrifying plots to unite the world under his rule. 'The Master' can read other people's minds and hypnotize them into obedience. Due to his advanced age (157), he can hardly speak and only in Latin or proverbs" (Gallix). Gallix A19.

Fine condition, quite scarce thus.
