Inner hinges cracked and inexpertly strengthened by a previous owner, but binding is firm and this is a good clean copy generally with a striking front cover. #1822. $25. Collects three novellas all dealing with the awkward results of personality exchange. "When Reginald was Caroline" also includes a sex reversal when the husband finds himself -- inexplicably -- inhabiting his wife's body. In "How Chopin Came to Remsen" the same sort of stereotypically stolid middle-class husband falls into fugue states in which he is possessed by the spirit of Chopin, as the family piano indisputably shows. "Clariss'a Troublesome Baby" presents yet another assault on the placid life of a middle-class American family when a widow's eight-old baby turns out to be the reincarnation of her late husband. Bleiler calls the second story "very amusing" and points out that the first was "obviously the source for Thorne Smith's Turnabout." -- The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 1628. Van Zile was a regular contributor to Smart Set magazine, a monthly (1900-1908) that attracted many excellent writers who were a bit too daring for the leading slicks of the period, and too high-brow for the pulps. He produced other fiction of a fantastic nature. Reginald 14578. Smith, American Fiction, 1901-1925 V-148. Hy Mayer (illustrator). …
