Themerson was a Polish avant-garde writer who wrote in three languages and established the Gaberbocchus Press in London with his wife Franciszka, who illustrated this book.
"Mr Truman's secretary and Mr Russell's secretary are fishing in the Lake District. A powerful though terribly slow automobile is moving through the night in that direction. And immediately we find ourselves in the centre of that typical Themerson universe already known from his earlier books, such as 'Bayamus', of which Bertrand Russell said that it is nearly as mad as the world."
