"The Book of xxx" by Henry xxx (lecturer at the University of Hull), mid 1960s. Possibly fantasy of some sort.

Anybody have an idea who the author might be, or what the book? The title (what I have of it) is so generic as to be unsearchable in the usual ways.

(Yes, this is connected to my Larkin project. I've had the go-ahead from the estate to write an article quoting the letters to my mother, as long as I run it by them before trying to publish it.)

Cool!

That is an astonishingly generic title fragment. May I ask why you don't have either of the missing nouns?

It's because Larkin (in describing the book to my mother) couldn't remember them. He'd been asked to look at the book in typescript and had recommended a couple of publishers, and was wondering whether she'd come across it.

With that title, of course she'd know!
