First edition of this post-war collection of stories, uncommon in the dustjacket. Stories include 'The Basement Room', subsequently filmed memorably as 'The Fallen Idol' by Carol Reed from Greene's screenplay.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; leaves toned, otherwise unmarked internally; publisher's dark blue cloth, silver lettering to spine, slight rubbing to extremities, light offsetting to endpapers, with the unclipped dust-jacket, slight loss to head of spine, minor creasing to edges, spine slightly darkened, some soiling to panels, overall a very good copy.
