A Maggot

Stated first [American] edition. This novel by John Fowles is described on the jacket flap as "Part detective story, part science fiction, part gothic horror tale, part history of dissent. . ." Per the author's prologue, "A maggot is the larval stage of a winged creature. But an older though now obsolete sense of the word (maggot) is that of whim or quirk." Both definitions apply to the title at various points in this work. --- In full brown cloth-covered boards with cover decoration & spine titling, both in gilt. Dust jacket with Fay Godwin photographic portrait of Mr. Fowles to back panel. --- With bookseller pencilings to front free endpaper, else a tightly-bound, unmarked, sound copy. Price-clipped jacket with a little chafing & creasing to edges, otherwise bright, intact and wrapped in removable archival mylar protector. ; Tall Octavo - 9 to 10 in. tall; (6), 455 pages
