The London Magazine. Oct 1956. Aldous Huxley, Philip Toynbee, Alan Pryce-Jones. Scare wraparound Band. John Lehmann (editor).

October 1956 issue of the influential literary periodical The London Magazine, edited by the poet and publisher John Lehmann. FREE UK postage.

Founded in 1954, The London Magazine quickly became one of Britain’s most important post-war literary journals, publishing leading writers alongside emerging voices.

This issue includes notable contributions from:

• Aldous Huxley – A Writer’s Prospect

• Philip Toynbee – Thoughts on Gide

• Alan Pryce‑Jones – Coming to London

Additional literary commentary and criticism is provided by contributors including James Stern, Maurice Cranston, and L. A. G. Strong.

A particularly attractive feature of this copy is the original printed wraparound band, highlighting the principal contributors on the cover — a fragile element that is often discarded or lost.

The rear cover carries a period advertisement for Lemon Hart Rum, typical of mid-century literary magazines.

A desirable example of a 1950s British literary journal, particularly appealing to collectors of Aldous Huxley material and post-war literary periodicals.
