Requiem for a Nun

Census claim CONFIRMED: the US Random House, New York, 1951 is the true first (in both the 750-copy signed limited and the trade issue). Chatto & Windus, London, 1953 is the first English edition and is separately collected: 12mo, (19), 251 pp, light blue cloth boards with gilt spine titling, in a yellow and black illustrated jacket designed by Paul Hogarth. The book is a sequel to Sanctuary, returning to Temple Drake, and is part novel, part play.
