First Edition
Octavo, pp. [i-vi] vii [viii] [1] 2-300 [301-304: ads], publisher's blue cloth, front and spine panels stamped in black. First edition. "Collection of five stories, including 'The Kingdom and the Wall,' a fully-developed short novel of adventure and intrigue involving Gaston Brough's attempts to secure a hidden treasure by solving 'the Cipher of the Seven Thrones.' Brough eventually finds himself entangled with Launa, a Russian princess disguised as a lady's maid, who is fleeing Baron and Baroness Retzchl, members of the nobility who have started a revolution to place Launa on the throne of Marcania. The four remaining stories--'The Terrible Baron,' 'Dismissed,' 'The Reluctant Inheritance,' and 'The Vacant Place'--are all reprinted in Reynold's later collection THE TERRIBLE BARON AND OTHER STORIES (Wright & Brown, 1933). 'The Vacant Place' includes a divination ceremony that a woman performs to learn the fate of the man she has fallen in love with during World War I, but the story is not supernatural at all. The most effective tale in the collection is the novella 'The Terrible Baron,' a very atmospheric modern Gothic set in and around a Hungarian castle in which Ilaria Valdesca falls in love with Esper Haraldin, a nobleman whom the local villagers shun because he is rumored to be a werewolf who has murdered his wife" (Boyd White). 1918 gift inscription on the front free endpaper. Cloth worn and lightly scuffed, binding cracked between front free endpaper and half title leaf, rear hinge a trifle weak, pulpy endpapers tanned, a good copy. Rare. (#172263).
