The third book from perhaps the most original comic novelist in England 'I live in a house built entirely from tin. For a long while I was quite content here, and remained convinced I would find no better place to be. Then one day a woman arrived at my door and said, "So this is where you've been hiding."' Living in a tin shack, on a great plain, with only the wind for company: what could be better? But with Mary Petrie rapidly turning your house into a home, and the charismatic Michael Hawkins enticing your neighbours away, suddenly there are choices to be made. Should you stay? Or join the exodus? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

'For a long time I'd been convinced that I occupied a remote and unusual part of the world. Suddenly I wasn't so sure.' Living in a house made entirely of tin, on a great flat plain, far from any neighbour, with the wind for company: what could be better? Then, if a female acquaintance should arrive, make her intentions clear, make her mark, make a home, make some rules: what to do? Your nearest neighbours choose to move on, to move away; when they return, they're on a mission: do you follow in their footsteps? What is to be gained? What is to be lost? Magnus Mills, in this his third novel, has produced another singular, wry and uncanny tale - of civilization and discontent, of community and solitude, of domesticity and adventure, of leaders and followers. With it, Mills reaffirms that he is among the most distinctive and original writers at work in Britain today. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Text and binding are excellent, like new. DJ is very fine. First American edition. After the success of his novel The Restraint of Beasts, author Magnus Mills wrote Three to See the King Three in part as a "project" to prove to himself that he could be a full-time writer. The book was so successful that reviews appeared in The Guardian, The Spectator and The Independent, and it has been translated into both German and French. The nameless narrator lives in an isolated tin house situated on a windswept sandy plain, miles from his nearest neighbors whom he meets infrequently. He is quite happy in his lonely self-sufficiency until unexpectedly a woman comes to live with him. Unsettled at first, the narrator gradually gets used to the companionship. Then news comes of a new community being established on the edge of the plain by a charismatic, yet enigmatic figure who is digging a canyon and gaining more and more followers to his revolutionary cause. One by one, his neighbors join the canyon project, moving their tin houses to the new community as the narrator feels under increasing pressure to join them.
