Mark Haddon THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME Signed Slipcased Limited Edition

Signed limited edition slipcased hardback of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME by Mark Haddon and published by Jonathan Cape in 2003. Signed by Haddon on the limitation page. Number 943 out of 1000 copies printed. Numberline is: '20'

The book is in good+/very good- condition (black cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine) with a little bumping to the corners and the top and bottom edges of the spine. Various pages in the book have short folding creases and tears to them (please see images); this may have occurred during the production process and although no text is affected, it does significantly impact on the book's overall condition. The book is in a near fine slipcase which has no significant wear. Internally the pages are otherwise clean and tight and there are no other inscriptions.

Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the colour yellow.

Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, for fifteen-year-old Christopher everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning. He lives on patterns, rules, and a diagram kept in his pocket. Then one day, a neighbour's dog, Wellington, is killed and his carefully constructive universe is threatened. Christopher sets out to solve the murder in the style of his favourite (logical) detective, Sherlock Holmes. What follows makes for a novel that is funny, poignant and fascinating in its portrayal of a person whose curse and blessing are a mind that perceives the world entirely literally.
