The World in the Evening
Christopher Isherwood · Methuen (UK) · 1954
The UK first edition is Methuen, not The Bodley Head, which did not publish this title. Methuen and Random House both issued the book in 1954; bibliographic precedence between the British and American editions is not firmly established, as no source gives a month for either, and the American Random House edition was in circulation by mid-1954.
