A sporting Decameron
Gone to Ground
A Novel
Collins, 1935.
First edition. Original brown cloth lettered in gilt on the spine. A very good copy indeed, with a spine slightly darkened.
Gone to Ground is the sequel to Earth Stopped, a science fiction novel about the end of the world. The premise in this novel is that each of the survivors, hiding underground, tell fantasy stories, mostly of a sporting nature. ""If we've got to hear stories," said Mr Sponge with an offensive yawn, "I think at least they ought to be sportin' ones." "A sporting Decameron," said Pansy, "What a good idea!""
