1st edition. Signed. "Recounts the extraordinary life of James Lucas, a wealthy Victorian land-owner who, in 1849, developed a paranoid fear of his relatives and barricaded himself inside the family mansion, where he remained in a state of siege for 25 years. However, unlike other hermits and once protected by the stout iron bars of his kitchen cell, he tok a positive delight in meeting and arguing with the rest of the world. A wild, biblical figure with waist-length hair and blackened limbs covered only by an old blanket, he lived a life, quite literally, of sackcloth and ashes - but always with his gun beside him."
