Excellent
First UK edition. 24.5 x 17 cm, original burgundy cloth spine, grey boards, dust jacket. London, Jonathan Cape. 1981
The US edition came out earlier the same year. This, technically, is the UK issue of the first edition, since this first Cape printing used the American sheets.
An excellent copy, dust jacket a little faded to spine with some wear to head of spine.
Winner of the Booker Prize in 1981 and the Best of the Booker in 2008, in which the public picked their favourite winner of the prize's first 40 years, Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children is a playful, intelligent and jaw-droppingly inventive novel about the first years of India's independence from British colonial rule.
