The series had been proposed by Edward Garnett, one of T. Fisher Unwin's readers, and was published in the 1890s. This volume contains the first book to be published by Ford H. Madox Hueffer (1873-1939), better known as Ford Madox Ford, which he wrote at the age of seventeen. The book is attractively bound in white cloth covered boards with an overall blue design, blue titling on the spine and front board and a blue publisher's circular monogram in the cente of the rear board. All edges of the text block have the same blue design. The case of the book is in very good condition with light bumping to the top corners and slightly heavier bumping to the spine ends. There is some shelf wear and soiling on the boards and the spine is slightly yellowed with some soiling and a little wear to the titling and decoration. The contents are tight and clean with some foxing on the endpapers and first and last few pages, including some marks on the title page. There is no inscription.
