The Day They Came to the Arrest the Book

1st UK edition (previously published in the USA). 168pp. In deep blue cloth-covered boards with white titles on spine (rubbed and rounded at spine tips, very slightly cocked). Upper text block edge dust marked. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original, price clipped, dust jacket (a little bumped at edges, short closed tear from upper edge on verso, minor shelf wear). A small but vocal group of parents and students launch an angry protest arguing that Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn is racist, sexist and immoral. The issue becomes a crisis for the local school and the town rushes to take sides. A sharp and witty portrait of a community in conflict, pulling readers into a provocative confrontation and triggering them to think carefully about the real meaning of freedom. 8vo.
