London: Herbert Jenkins, 1949

8vo, pp. 256. Original orange boards, lettered in black to front panel and spine. Illustrated dustwrapper. A near fine copy in a complete but worn dustwrapper with some creasing and closed tears, especially to front panel.

First edition.

Scarce in any sort of dustwrapper -- and a copy which has survived far better than the reputation of its author, who has now been comprehensively forgotten. COPAC's listing of Glyder's work shows him to have been active between 1928 and 1949 (making it likely that this was his last book), and two films were made from his novels: The Compulsory Husband [1930] and The Compulsory Wife [1937]. Apart from that, nothing: Glyder's name does not seem to have troubled the scorers in any of the standard reference works.
