Hardback. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. de Vallière, George (pseudonym of George F. Duysters). Opals from a Mexican Mine. New York: New Amsterdam Book Company Publishers, 1896. First edition. Octavo, pp. [1-11] 12-285 [286-288: blank]. Original decorated maroon cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold and turquoise, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed, title page printed in red and black. Signed and dated early gift inscription from author on front free endpaper. Binding slightly leaned, a bright, very good copy. #448. $25. Wright (III) 1682. Not in the usual fantasy genre references. Collects four stories and a novella, all set in Mexico. One of the stories is supernatural, and two others have borderline elements. In "The Vision of Don Juan on the Piedra de Los Angeles," it is said that anyone who sleeps near a certain rock will never awaken. Don Juan sleeps there and sees a vision of the Angel of Death but survives. In "The Greatest of the Gods is Quetzalcoatl," a young woman makes a grim deal with the local wise woman to save her lover from fever even it means losing him and being forced to marry another man. Her lover is saved, and she finds a tragic way to cheat the witch out of her reward. In "The Water Lady," the most interesting of the stories here, a man pretends to go pearl diving off Baja California in order to stay underwater for abnormally long periods of time in search of a fantastic woman. He finds her and never returns. "The Mysterious Disappearance of Mrs. T. Tompkins Smith" is a society romance about Anglos in Mexico. The longest piece, "Cosmopolitana Mexicana," is a collection of local sketches. The writing style is rather puffy and pretentious. The book was reprinted in 1903 by the same publisher from the same plates under the title Our Lady of the Waters with the byline of George F. Duysters (the author's real name).
