Item description from seller

First American edition of the AUTHOR'S FIRST BOOK. 12mo. hardcover in blindstamped pebbled brown cloth with spine lettered in gilt. 224 pp. A tight, very good copy, spine lettering somewhat rubbed and bit of wear to the otp and bottom edges of the mspine; occasional light foxing in the text. "This is the story of a foolish woman, who, through her own folly, learnt wisdom at last; whose troubles--they were not very great, they might have made the happiness of some less eager--were more than she knew how to handle.". Anne Isabella Thackeray (1837-1919, later married to her cousin Richmond Ritchie) was the eldest daughter of William Makepeace Thackeray and was quite highly regarded as an author in her own right in the mid- to late- Victorian era becoming a significant literary figure by the late 1800s. She was the custodian of her father's literary legacy and her short fiction, which placed traditional fairy tales in Victorian settings, was particularly popular.
