Contact seller5-star sellerUnnumbered copy from a limited edition of 450 printed on hand-made Van Gelder paper with deckle-edges (limitation stated upon concluding page). xxxii, 77 pages. H 21cm x L 13.25cm. Lacks separate dust jacket but bound in cream paper wraps over stiff card stock with lettering and decoration to the spine and front wrap. Wraps are…toned with moderate soiling with shallow loss at spine ends, slight bumping and nicks at corners. Underlying the cream wraps is peeled spine paper which, in turn, exposes quires. Binding remains fairly firm but with a few splits evident between several interior leaves. Cream silk page-marker sewn into binding but with some associated slender discoloration occurring to spine margins of pages 24-25. Still a good copy of an uncommon title by the much collected Mosher Press. Foreword, Note, and three-scene play by Scottish poet, playwright, and literary biographer William Sharp (1855-1905) writing under the pseudonym of Fiona MacLeod.

Octavo, pp. [1-12] [1-2] 3-332 [333: colophon] [334-336: blank] [note: first and last leaves are blanks], title page printed in orange and black, original decorated green cloth, front panel stamped in brown, spine panel stamped in brown (or gold), fore and bottom edges untrimmed. First U.S. edition, later binding ("Stone/Chicago…" at base of spine panel). "Folklore and pseudo-folklore of the Hebrides turned into stories, often expressed in Macleod's swollen, neo-Ossianic style." - Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 1089. "Most of the FM stories, novels and poems were concentrated into four years (1893-6), produced almost with the fervour of religious experience. All have a dreamlike spiritual quality, capturing the folk-memory of Celtic myth and legend. Their popularity contributed to the Celtic revival of the 1890s. The best short fiction and sketches appeared as THE SIN-EATER AND OTHER TALES (1895) and THE WASHER OF THE FORD . (1896), which are mostly stories of spiritual transformation and second sight. In both books the title story features mythic characters whose actions consume or purify the sins of others." - Clute and Grant (eds), The Encyclopedia of Fantasy, p. 608. See Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 2-118. Schlobin, The Literature of Fantasy 946. Bleiler (1978), p. 131. Reginald 09510. Kramer 75 (not noting this binding). The brown (or perhaps gold) lettering on spine panel very dull, a very good copy. (#118704).

Add to basketThis item is from the autograph album of the author George Meredith's daughter Marie Eveleen (Mariette; 1871-1933), wife of Henry Parkman Sturgis (1847-1929), American-born banker and Liberal politician. It does not however appear to be addressed to Meredith, but rather to the author William Sharp ('Fiona Macleod'). See the seve…ral references to Bourget in the first volume of W. F. Halloran's edition of Sharp's letters. 1p, 16mo. Laid down on part of gilt-edged leaf from Mrs Sturgis's album. In good condition, folded once for postage. Nine neatly-written lines, with Bourget's distinctive signature. Begins: 'Mille remerciements, cher poète, pour le morceau du Time, et l'excellente traduction que vous avez faite du Soir d'été.' His 'beaux vers' have made Bourget love his own. He concludes with new year greetings: 'Puis que c'est l'habitude Française, je profite de ce premier janvier pour vous souhaiter ainsi qu'a Mrs Sharp, une heureuse année - et me dire une fois de plus votre ami bien devoué / Paul Bourget / 13 Janv. 86'.

Edinburgh, Patrick Geddes. A presentation copy, inscribed by the author opposite the half title page to his cousin R. Farquharson Sharp 'To R.F.S. with… loving Birthday and new year greetings. 31st Dec Xmas/ 1st Jany 97'. Reviewed by Yeats, who only discovered the double identity not long before his death, in the December 1896 issue of the Bookman: 'Miss Macleod has rediscovered the art of the myth-maker, and gives a visible shape to joys and sorrows and makes them seem realities and man and women illusions'. Sharp wrote 'I was born more than a thousand years ago, in the remote region of Gaeldom known as The Hills of Dream'.
