Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. New Edition. 1938. New edition. 166pp. and 24 illustrations from photographs. William Woodthorpe Tarn (1869-1957) was a British classical scholar and a writer. This story, first published in 1919, was written for his daughter and is now a classic fantasy adventure for children. It describes the adventures of two children, Fiona and the Urchin, on the Isle of Skye. Prompted by a mysterious hawker, they set out to search for the treasure of the Isle of Mist and find it is far different from what they expected. The book is bound in the original green cloth covered boards with brown titling on the spine and a brown illustration of Skye on the front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with light bumping and a touch of browning to the spine ends. The contents are tight and clean with some light foxing on the endpapers. There is also some foxing on the fore edge of the text block and on a few pages this has seeped a little way into the fore margin. There is an inscription dated 1944 on the front free endpaper. The unclipped dustwrapper has shelf wear with light soiling and rubbing along the edges. The corners and bottom of the spine are bumped and nicked and up to about 1/4" is missing from the top of the spine which also has some creasing. There are a few small tears on the edges and a larger tear of about 3/4" on the top rear spine edge.
OUP, [1938]. 8vo. Original cloth with illustrated dust-wrappers (not price-clipped); pp. 166, plates after photographs on thick eggshell papers; minimal rubbing to wrappers, otherwise fine. Written for theauthor's daughter, Otta Swire of Orbost House, and first published in 1919, the fantasy adventure is based on and inspired by the Isle of Skye. This new edition features 24 contemporary photographs of Skye including one of Orbost House. - This beautiful edition is particularly hard top find.
