No jacket, Book plate attached to title page.Overall tight and clean. Book Description George Norman Douglas (1868-1952) was a British writer, now best known for his 1917 novel South Wind. His first book publication, Unprofessional Tales (1901) was written under the pseudonym Normyx. He moved to Capri, spending time there and in London, and became a more committed writer. South Wind (1917) remains Douglas's most famous work; however it has been argued that his best work was in his travel books which combine erudition, insight, whimsicality and some fine prose.
