Item #25070 ALL HALLOWS' EVE. Charles Williams.

ALL HALLOWS' EVE.

London: Faber & Faber, 1945. Octavo, pp. [1-4] 5 [6] 7-206, original red cloth, spine panel stamped in gold. First edition. The last of Williams's seven metaphysical romances. "Posthumous fantasy in which two women adrift in the City of the Dead restore contact with the world of the living so that one of them may oppose the grandiose plans of the master occultist Simon the Clerk. A fine moralistic fantasy, very earnest in its treatment of the phenomenon of evil and its speculations about the ways in which evil may and must be defeated; the best of Williams's metaphysical thrillers." - Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror 5-322. Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 3-373. Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 1717. Schlobin, The Literature of Fantasy 1122. Survey of Modern Fantasy Literature I, pp. 17-21. Tymn (ed), Fantasy Literature, pp. 178-79. Corner tips slightly bumped, slight lean, a nearly fine copy in a very good dust jacket with a small chip to upper left front panel, small abrasion to lower right front panel, mild wear to corner tips, age darkening to spine panel and shallow loss to spine ends. (25070). Item #25070
