Item description from seller

The "Holiday" edition, inscribed by the author on the second blank while on holiday, "Very truly yours, H. B. Stowe, Bay View House, Aug. 23, 1879". Though she lived another 17 years, Stowe's literary career was almost concluded when she inscribed this copy during one of her many holiday retreats at Bay View House, facing Ferry Beach in Saco, Maine. Uncle Tom's Cabin was first published in 1852 and exerted immediate and lasting international influence. This edition has the contents bordered in red and includes a new introduction and a bibliography of the novel by George Bullen. BAL 19490. Octavo. Illustrations in the text. Original red cloth over bevelled boards, spine and front cover lettered and illustrated in gilt and black, dark blue coated endpapers, edges gilt. Spine ends frayed, rubbing to cloth, edges slightly worn, foxing to outer leaves, occasional marks to contents, long horizontal closed tear to pp. 369/70. A very good copy.
