Graves, Robert, The Antigua Stamp (Seizin Press/Random House, 1st U.S. edition, 1937). Two children: the boy grows up to be a novelist; the girl, an actor-manager of a theater company. They both feud over the Antigua stamp, a rare object in their collection. A sardonic romp by the author of I, Claudius.
Octavo, 325 pp. Hardcover, good condition; wear to the dust jacket, some tears are taped but, happily, not yellowed. The U.S. 1st is more scarce than the U.K. 1st. HBB price: $50 obo.
