Crofton, Algernon. The Goat’s Hoof, A Guide for Husbands, Wives and Lovers. Second Edition. 1930. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition—endpapers mildly discolored. Illustrations by Donald Denton. 

Related in epistolary form, this sophisticated novel is a contemplation of love, romance, marriage, and jealousy. It exists on a mythological plain, meandering between history and the 20th Century, with references to Machiavelli, Antony and Cleopatra, Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan, Shakespeare, et al. It is common sense but anti-Puritan, a consolation to those who attempt to live in a complex, three-dimensional world. Beautifully decorated with b & w illustration. Rare in dust jacket.
