His life spanned the C20th; he died in 1995. He too was a friend of Mrs Littman. First edition, first printing. Fine condition with good/fair dust jacket. The dust jacket is slightly chipped at the top and bottom edges; it has a 3cm tear at the top and a 2cm tear at the bottom of the back panel; also a chip missing at top of spine.
