NATHAN: A PIT-FIGHTING DOG. By Brian Plummer.
1980 1st edition. 8vo (138 x 222mm). Pp142. B/w illustrations by Martin Knowelden. Brown boards, spine titled in gilt.
This is Plummer's famous and sought-after novel of the nineteenth-century world of dog fighting, badger and ape baiting, and the progress through it of Joby Fox and his dog Nathan. The detail and circumstances of the story might lead the reader to suppose that it is largely taken from first-hand experience. Subsequent editions were retitled, Nathan: A Novel.
