About this Item
First Edition. Original orange paper-covered boards with black cloth spine, printed paper labels to front cover and spine. 60 pages; small abrasion mark on the half-title. Top and tail of spine mildly rubbed with label a touch scuffed. Boards slightly dust stained, nothing serious. Former owner's contemporary sig on front pastedown, dated Jan 1922. In a Note following the titlepage Priestley remarks: "Nearly all these pieces have appeared in the CAMBRIDGE REVIEW. a few travesties and epigrams have been added, and others have been revised. Most of the tales were written during the War, many of them while I was in Flanders, and at that time, being away from books, I imagined I was doing something new, being either ignorant or forgetful of the work of better men, such as Lord Dunsany and Mr. T.W.H. Crosland, in a very similar form." An excellent copy of Priestley's second book. Seller Inventory # 14995
