This book is quite possibly the weirdest story that I have ever read. In terms of mystic sf journies, I’m sure that it beats CS Lewis’ trilogy (which I’ve never read). This is my Dad’s copy from 1968. Its falling apart but the cover is way better than all the newer editions that I’ve seen on Half Price Books shelves. Also, David Lindsay died in his late 20s / early 30s from tooth decay. The bacteria from an untreated cavity eventually infected his heart. So go brush your teeth right now.
