“FUJI WAS A JAPANESE PUG, AND RATHER CORRECT, SO GISSING WAS ASHAMED TO DO WHAT HE WANTED TO DO”
MORLEY, Christopher. Where the Blue Begins. Garden City: Doubleday, Page, 1922. Octavo, original half blue cloth and cream pictorial boards, original matching dust jacket. Housed in custom slipcase and chemise.
First edition of Morley’s philosophical fantasy of the dog Gissing in search of a divinity.
Morley’s third novel “is a kind of fairy tale, if you like; an allegory, perhaps; a story… full of quaint absurdity, laughter, and satire; but with an undercurrent of beauty and meaning.”
Book fine, light spotting to original dust jacket. A near-fine copy.
