The Old Man and The Sea. London: Jonathan Cape, 1955. Second UK Edition. Quarter cloth over cream boards, title lettered in white along spine & image to upper & lower boards. In the original pictorial dust jacket. A fine bright copy.

The second printing in England, & the first Cape edition to feature the illustrations of C.F. Turnnicliffe & Raymond Sheppard. Unusually the publisher’s included both artists as they found their different interpretations & styles so excellent and apt for the story.

Hemingway’s last major work of fiction that was published during his lifetime.

“A masterly example of literary art, simple and magnificent.”
