Description

  • First UK Edition [Souvenir Press, London, 1973]; 95, [3 blank] pages; red cloth, black titling to spine, a fine copy; in the near-fine, price-clipped [front flap with price sticker] dustjacket with design by Mike Hasted
  • Woodcuts by Antonio Frasconi
  • Introduction by Miguel Enguidanos
  • “…a collection of poems, stories, sketches and apocryphal quotations…”
  • Originally published as El Hacedor [The Maker] after one of the stories, this UK edition takes the title [Dreamtigers] of another sketch but, interestingly, the front flap erroneously translates El Hacedor as Dreamtigers… possibly poetic licence, possibly editorial error!
