A séance in a Hampstead drawing room, and by the next chapter the traveler stands on a planet beneath a double sun, where every strange landscape strips away one more illusion in a relentless philosophical quest. David Lindsay sold fewer than six hundred copies in his lifetime and died believing he had failed - yet C. S. Lewis borrowed its machinery for his own space trilogy, and Harold Bloom called it the book he most wished he had written. This edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 50 full-page color plates, Redon's among them.
