Green Cloth Hardback. Condition: Good - See Description. First Edition. 1905. First edition. viii, 356pp. plus a 38 page catalogue dated September 1905. Arthur George Morrison (1863-1945) was an English writer and journalist known for realistic novels and for stories about working-class life in the East End of London. He also wr…ote detective stories featuring a specific detective, Martin Hewitt. "Divers Vanities" is a collection of seventeen of Morrison's best short stories. Among them, one can find a ghost story (The Legend of Lapwater Hall), tales of witchcraft such as The Black Badger and The Torn Heart, and detective stories with a shadow supernatural in the plot. The book appears to have been recased in slightly later green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in good to very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling and light staining on the boards. The spine is slighlt faded and the spine ends are bumped with some damage to the cloth. The contents are tight and the pages are clean apart from a few small marks and some pencil underlining or lines drawn on the margin of a few pages. The half-title page and title-page are fairly heavily foxed and the following few pages are moderately foxed. There is also scattered but lighter foxing elsewhere within the book. The fore edge of the text block is moderately foxed and on some pages this has seeped a little way into the fore margin. The front free endpaper has been removed and there are traces of an erased pencil inscription on the front fixed endpaper.

Octavo, pp. [i-vi] vii-viii [1-2] 3-356 + 40-page publisher's catalogue dated "September 1905" inserted at rear, original dark green cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold, bottom edge untrimmed. First edition. Collects seventeen stories, five of which were reprinted for the selected edition of Morrison in the SHORT STORI…ES OF TO-DAY AND YESTERDAY series in 1929. "The Legend of Lapwater Hall" is a ghost story. "The Black Badger" and "The Torn Heart" are tales of witchcraft. "All three involve the recurring character of Cunning Murrell, who, as a local white witch, functions as a quasi-psychic detective. These stories bear some resemblance to Manly Wade Wellman's later stories of Appalachian magic featuring Silver John. Definitely a notch above the average, although the author's emphasis is on regionalistic verisimilitude and the phenomenology of crime rather than of the supernatural." - Robert Eldridge. Not in Bleiler (1948; 1978), Day (1963), or Reginald (1979; 1992). Hubin (1994), p. 586. Wolff 4939. Considerable damp staining to cloth on front and rear covers, endpapers tanned, else a very good copy. A scarce book. (#118785).
