Scherzo - 1st UK edition

by Jim Williams

Subtitled 'A Venetian Entertainment', this is an 18th century murder mystery, mingling the serious and the frivolous in the wild spirit of rococo. What is truth and what is illusion? The unlikely hero is young Signor Ludovico, castrato opera singer, and narrator.

Book has black boards with gold printing on the spine. Clean inside and out, with marbled end papers, a lightly bumped front corner keeps it from being fine.

The wrapper is price intact at £16.99 and is also near fine.
