MULTON, Edward. Marihuana!

(‘s-Gravenhage, The Netherlands): A.L. van Kersen, nop date. [1960s]. First edition. Hardcover. 19.2 by 13.5cm. 192 pages. An uncommon Dutch novel by Herman Nicolaas van der Voort (1908–1976), writing under his familiar pseudonym Edward Multon. Better known for his prolific output of detective and adventure fiction, Multon here turns to the contemporary subject of marijuana, reflecting the growing public fascination with and anxiety surrounding narcotics during the 1960s. Published by A.L. van Kersen, with whom Multon enjoyed a long and productive association, the work is among the more unusual titles in his extensive bibliography. A very good copy in good jacket with faint traces of old stain to rear panel.
