Gift book market - very specialized.And expensive, with 24 Dali linocuts. The strange, the bizarre, recaptured with subtlety. With cosmopolitan charm and wit, Sandoz contributes personal and ancestral experiences of his mother who saw more of her hairdresser than her husband, the doctor who used parts of defunct patients towards her further embellishment of the author's encounter with a mummified lady of Uncle Celestin, his crutches and a spirit world manifestation of the Orient, and the Indies, and a stolen sapphire of wolves in the Turkish cemetery of Scutari of a modern saint and the materialization of rose petals of death in Davos. Connoisseur's concoction in which Sandoz scientist, musician, author and Dali have combined their respective flairs for the fantastic in a series of illustrated incidents of the weird, the exotic and the macabre.

Quarto (10 1/4' x 7 1/4') bound in original publisher's green cloth with gilt lettering in green spine label and initials GM to cover in original pictorial jacket. 128 pages with illustrations by Salvador Dali.
