Description
Gerald Heard. Three Books, including: Gabriel and the Creatures. Illustrated by Susanne Suba. New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, [1952]. Octavo. 244 pages. Sixty black and white illustrations. Notes. Appendix. Publisher's light blue cloth covers with a simple line illustration in dark blue and the spine lettered in dark blue. Illustrated dust jacket in blue, white, grays, and black. Very minor bumping to the corners, slight rubbing to the covers and jacket, some discolored spotting to the covers and jacket spine, some tiny closed tears to the head and foot of the jacket spine. Altogether a very good copy. Heard lends meaning to the evolutionary tract through both fact and fiction presented in this fable where animals can speak and listen to the Archangel Gabriel. This work was also published in Great Britain under the title Wishing Well. [and:] The Black Fox. A Novel of the Seventies by Gerald Heard. New York: Harper & Brothers, Publishers, [1951]. First edition. Octavo. 275 pages. Publisher's quarter black shelf back over green and tan weave textured boards. The spine is lettered in silver. Some minor sunning to the top edge of the covers, some sunning to the spine of the jacket, very tiny closed tears to the head and foot of the jacket spine. Altogether a very good copy. An English Cathedral at the close of the eighteen seventies is the setting for this suspenseful novel focused upon the good and evil. [and:] Is Another World Watching: The Riddle of the Flying Saucers. New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, [1951]. First edition. Octavo. xiv, 183 pages. Four plates. Publisher's quarter cream shelf back over gray and tan weave textured boards. The spine is lettered in light blue. Illustrated dust jacket with a publisher's small wrapper ad in yellow. Some minor rubbing to the jacket, some tearing to the publisher's wrapper ad. Altogether a very good copy. Heard looks at all of the available evidence regarding the existence of the flying saucer, and makes inferences into their power, nature, and crews.Auction Info
