Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. A lovely copy of the first edition of Lucille Iremonger's classic critique of the 1901 Versailles 'time slip' adventure. This is the true first edition, first printing. Pages are excellent: no markings or inscriptions, just some normal minor age wear mostly on top edges. One fox spot on fore edge but no tanning or browning elsewhere. Very unusual in this condition. DJ is v very nice: unclipped, some shelf wear and minor nickings and the odd small enclosed tear. Some age wear. But generally very good indeed. A great collector's item. Many illustrations. See photos all of which are of the copy for sale, we don't use stock photos. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2722

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. IREMONGER, Lucille. The Ghosts of Versailles. Miss Moberly and Miss Jourdain and Their Adventure: A Critical Study. London: Faber and Faber, 1957. A fascinating study of An Adventure (1911), a book by Charlotte Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain about the authors's visit to Versailles in the summer of 1901. Miss Moberly (18461937), the first principal of St Hugh's College, University of Oxford, and Miss Jourdain (18631924), the school's vice-principal, shared an experience that day that gave rise to one of the best-known of all ghost stories when they saw what they later surmised to be the ghost of Marie Antoinette. The book created a sensation, and it remained in print for most of the 20th century, attracting a number of critical works, including the present book, which promises to be 'as gripping as a detective story and will captivate and interest not only of those who have read An Adventure but of all who enjoy a clever and penetrating study of an intricate subject that has a fascinating human aspect as well as broader philosophical implications.' (from the blurb) A former student of Moberly and Jourdain at St Hugh's, Iremonger takes a skeptical view of the incident, revealing that the two women were lesbian lovers, and the incident was a follie a deux. 313 pp; b/w photos. 8vo, original cloth; partial browning to endpapers. Very good in dust jacket (slight edge-wear; not price-clipped). A very attractive copy. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers CRB137
