Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Illustrations by George Hutchinson, Hal Hurst, Irving Montagu, Lascelels, others (illustrator). 1st Edition. Bound volume of the first six issues of Robert Barr's London-based monthly humor magazine, "The Idler," for which he chose Jerome K. Jerome as his collaborator (wanting, as Jerome said, "a popular name.") Half-bound in green leather over blindstamped green cloth in a foliate pattern, spine divided into six compartments with a red leather label, "Very good" with considerable rub to corners and to top of spine, original green endpapers, the internal hinges starting to open but boards still well attached. Front pastedown bears the nameplate of Charles A. Reynolds, Barnsbury Park, London, N. Includes the first six installments of Mark Twain's "The American Claimant" (though not through the end -- illustrated by Hal Hurst); Bret Harte's "The Conspiracy of Mrs. Bunker" (complete -- illustrated by Geo. Hutchinson); Andrew Lang's "Enchanted Cigarettes" (illustrated by Lascelles); Conan Doyle's "Glamour of the Arctic" and "De Profundis"; interviews with Mark Twain and Bret Harte; several pieces by Eden Philpotts, and (most significantly for Holmesian scholars) what is reputedly the first and still among the best of Sherlock Holmes parodies, "Detective Stories Gone Wrong -- The Adventures of Sherlaw Kombs," offered under Barr's pen name "Luke Sharp," and again illustrated by Geo. Hutchinson. (The spoof -- now better known as "The Great Pegram Mystery" -- was continued a decade later in another Barr story, "The Adventure of the Second Swag" (1904). Despite those jibes at the growing Holmes phenomenon, Barr remained on good terms with Conan Doyle. In "Memories and Adventures," a serial memoir published 1923-24, Doyle described Barr as "a volcanic Anglo- or rather Scot-American, with a violent manner, a wealth of strong adjectives, and one of the kindest natures underneath it all.") 724 pp., here reduced from $200.
