Reprint. 350 pages + 2 of ads. Presumably a pirated edition, with no indication of where it was printed, though with an intriguing statement to the reverse of the half-title page that: "The whole of this work, paper, printing and binding, is British production.". It is undated, likely circa 1897 as it appears to be based upon the Dean & Son reissue of that year, with four short stories in addition to the original 1892 novella. The book is reasonably firmly bound in dark green cloth with bevelled boards, lettered and illustrated in gilt, reds, greens and black, it is externally slightly marked, bumped and rubbed. The text block, with gilt to all edges, is age browned, slightly marked and foxed with cracking at points, there is a neatly written name in ink to the front endpaper, also quite extensive light pencil notes by another former owner.
