Frontispiece, title, and five superb etched plates by George Cruikshank. An utterly fine copy with absolutely no signs of wear to the binding.

First Edition. **** DOYLE'S FIRST APPEARANCE **** IN BOOK FORMAT TALES FROM MANY SOURCES, Dodd Mead, 1885, first edition, 4 volumes, some light wear and rubbing to some extremities, some unobtrusive moisture staining to the rear covers of 2 volumes, else a tight vg set. A collection of 28 stories, some criminous, some fantasy, and most if not all seeming to come from British sources and thereby introducing such literature to the American public. Among the contributors are Thomas Hardy, Wilkie Collins, Ouida, Charles Reade, Alphonse Daudet, Walter Besant, F. Antsey, Robert Louis Stevenson and others. But perhaps most notable is the story BONES which is Arthur Conan Doyle's first appearance in book form. An obvious must for the serious Doyle collector. Quite scarce.
