FIRST EDITION, slight nick to leading edge of first text-page, pp. [viii], 142, crown 8vo, original darkest blue cloth, backstrip and upper board lettered in gilt, faded around the backstrip, t.e.g., fore-edge roughtrimmed, free endpapers faintly browned, very good. Inscribed by the author on the flyleaf: 'Miss Saunders, with be…st wishes from A.E.C., Xmas 1923'. The author was an accountant by profession and an amateur mountaineer - a combination that probably works best that way round. He joined the Alpine Club in 1916. Aside from the present volume and a late memoir (1952), all of his other publications relate directly to his profession. This collection of stories, published in his early thirties, begins with 'Oxford Won', in which the protagonist, on a Chilean pampa, struggles to banish the memory of a boat-race defeat (the author's Cambridge allegiances can be inferred).
