Slaughterhouse-Five or The Children’s Crusade. Introduction by John Sutherland. Illustrations by John Holder. London: The Folio Society, 2006. First Edition Thus. Publisher’s pictorial cloth boards, housed in slipcase. A fine bright copy.

One of Vonnegut’s most popular works and widely regarded as a classic.

It combines science fiction elements with an analysis of the human condition from an uncommon perspective, using time travel as a plot device and the bombing of Dresden in World War II, the aftermath of which Vonnegut witnessed, as a starting point.
