About this Item
Description:
Bell, Neil (pseudonym of Stephen Southwold, which, in turn, was apparently a pen name for Stephen H. Critten). Precious Porcelain. New York, London: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1931. First U.S. edition. Octavo, pp. [1-2] [i-vi] vii-viii [1-2] 3-358 [359-360: blank]. Original gray cloth, front and spine panels stamped in red, top edge stained red, other edges rough-trimmed. Illustrated with a map at the frontispiece. Spine lean, some damp staining to lower part of outer joint of front cover, a very good copy in very good pictorial dust jacket. #838. $25. The various disturbances of this weird novel set in Cornwall are eventually tracked to David Harley, an ex-priest and doctor who, "outdoing Dr Jekyll, has been dividing his own physical and spiritual substance, 'budding off' fragments of personality embodying pure character traits of various kinds." -- Stableford, Scientific Romance in Britain 1890-1950, pp. 221-22. Reginald 01052. Seller Inventory # 838A
