First Edition Thus (& 1st printing). Octavo. Bound in bright red boards, spine and front panel lettered and ruled in gilt, red endpapers, head-and tail-bands, satin bookmark. 264 pp., frontispiece (portrait of Nugent Barker by Ian Tillard). Issued in an edition limited to just 350 copies. A fine copy in a near-fine dust jacket, very (very!) faint tanning to spine panel. Perhaps best known for two much-admired tales, the evocative ghost story 'Whessoe' and the grimly humorous horror tour-de-force 'Curious Adventure of Mr Bond', Nugent Barker (1888-1955) remains something of an enigma. Although rated highly by contemporaries: the 1929 edition of Edward J. O'Brien's anthology The Best British Stories is dedicated to Barker: little is known of his life, and these twenty-one tales, first collected in 1950, are thought to represent the sum total of Barker's literary output. As Douglas Anderson notes in his Foreword, Barker ranks alongside fellow twentieth-century exponents of the strange story, Walter de la Mare and John Metcalfe. But what makes Barker unique as a writer is the originality and diversity of his imagination. The stories collected here range widely, from the Poe-esque Parisian sophistication of 'The Strange Disappearance of Monsieur Charbo', to the sly and strangely touching Sussex folk-wisdom of 'Stanley Hutchinson'; from the dislocated, dreamlike horror of 'One, Two, Buckle My Shoe' to the idyllic, time-travelling nostalgia of 'The Thorn'. Contains: 'Foreword' by Douglas Anderson, 'Bibliographical Notes', 'Curious Adventure of Mr Bond', 'Stanley Hutchinson', 'The Six', 'I and My Wife Isobel', 'Whessoe', 'Interlude', 'The Spurs', 'Death's Door', 'Gertie Macnamara', 'The Invalid', 'Out of Leading-Strings', 'Mrs Sayce's Guy', 'Expectation of Life', 'A Passage in the Life of Dr Wilks', 'The Strange Disappearance of Monsieur Charbo', 'The Thorn', 'One, Two, Buckle My Shoe', 'Aimless Afternoon', 'The Announcement', 'Crescendo', 'Life and Death of the Princess Gertrude'.…
