From the collection of Betty Anderson, legendary art director of publisher Knopf in the late 20th century as evidenced by her (small and unobtrusive) inventory number and signature on front paste down.

The novel follows Lord Malquist, an eccentric and reclusive old man, and Mr. Moon, his odd and sometimes irritating neighbour. The two men are forced to cooperate when they are both threatened with eviction from their homes. In the process, they learn a great deal about each other and themselves.; 8vo.
