Eleven full-page drawings and 42 small head-pieces by Richard Sharp. Introduction by Constantine FitzGibbon. Bound in red cloth decorated in brown and black. White dust-jacket printed in green and black. 22.7x14cm. 216pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Beginning is Norman Douglas's satirical fantasy about a primeval world and the uneasy arrival of civilisation. At its centre is Linus, whose drive to impose order threatens the freedom of an older, more instinctive existence. Myth, irreverent humour and philosophical argument mingle in a story that turns familiar ideas of human progress upside down. Douglas imagines what may be lost when rules, authority and supposedly civilised behaviour displace the unruly life that came before them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216355803475,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421090529619,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/in-the-beginning-folio-society-60","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
