Moonchild.
Stock Code 113741
London, The Mandrake Press, 1929

Current price$4,518.00
Moonchild was the second of Crowley's interwar novels - following Diary of a Drug Fiend in 1922. It is a wild fantastical roman-à-clef and incidentally one of the most striking pieces of book design of its day.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; light offsetting to endpapers, minor spotting to fore-edge, else unmarked internally; publisher's green cloth, gilt lettering to spine, with the original unclipped pictorial dust-jacket by Beresford Egan, spine slightly faded, small chip to head of spine, some tiny nicks to extremities; a superior copy in the unrestored dust-jacket.
