My first but not last Cocteau. I quite liked this little book and its “delicious” phrasing, though I think I have Lehmann to thank for that as much as Cocteau. 

This copy appears to be the second printing of the @ndpublishing edition, and I love how worn and broken in it is. Easy to daydream about all the hands this has passed through, how many people considered it “treasure” for their “Rooms.” Used books > new books til the day I croak. 

Link to last book: short story called “The Holy Terror” in All The Days and Nights 
Link to last few books: complicated sibling relationships
