First Canadian edition. 293 pages + 16 black and white illustrated plates. The book is quite firmly bound in the publisher's brown cloth, lettered and illustrated in green, white and darker brown, the boards are somewhat bumped, rubbed and slightly marked, more so to the spine, with bumping to the extremities and minor tears to the cloth. The text block, with gilt to the top-edge, is slightly toned, marked and foxed, the front endpaper has been neatly removed and the book opens at the half-title page, some pages have been quite roughly opened with consequent short closed tears and chipping to the edges, other pages towards the rear are entirely unopened, suggesting the original owner did not persevere to the end of the book and that nobody has read it since. The Canadian edition seems to vary only slightly from its American counterpart, aside from the gilded top edge and the different imprint. It is, however, something of a rarity; Hammond notes its existence in his bibliography, but was unable to find a copy to peruse. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7170

First U.S. edition. 293 pages + 16 black and white illustrated plates. The book is firmly bound in the publisher's brown cloth, lettered and illustrated in green, cream and darker brown, Hammond's second binding variant with the spine imprint 2.7cm wide, no priority established. The boards are slightly marked and rubbed, with minor bumping and slight fraying to the extremities. The text block is age browned, the plates more so, and there is offsetting from the plates, it is slightly foxed and marked, with small chips and short closed tears to a few page edges, including the rear endpaper. An interesting edition, published two months after the first British edition, varying quite considerably in appearance and construction, and with omissions from the bawdier elements of the text to satisfy the American publishers. Though with some faults, this a much better copy than often encountered, as the lettering and decoration to the front board and spine are prone to loss. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7169

First edition. 284 pages + 14 (of 16) black and white illustrations on grey card. With some interesting multi-layered provenance, there is an ownership inscription to the half-title page: "Susan Ransome Oct 1907", this believed to be Arthur Ransome's great-aunt Susan (b. 1834 d. 1909). The book is further from the estate of John Bell (1922-2008), one of Ransome's literary executors, with "return to John Bell" written faintly in pencil to the first blank page, and with a copy of a 1991 letter from Bell loosely inserted confirming that: "the Ransome titles all belonged to AR, though there are I think no markings.", and a further printed note from the recipient of Bell's letter, John Cowen, the notable Ransome collector, confirming that he received this title from Bell, along with three others, in exchange for a first edition of 'Thorstein of the Mere'. The book is bound in the publisher's grey cloth, lettered and illustrated in gilt, black and brown, neatly re-backed, with the original spine-strip laid on grey cloth and new endpapers front and rear, the cloth is stained, rubbed and bumped, with some loss of the original at the spine ends and other minor tears. The text block is age toned, marked and slightly foxed, with some short closed tears to a few page edges. An interesting early Ransome title, his first major success, comparing the historical Bohemian London of Lamb and Hazlitt with its modern equivalent, and with an affectionate nod to London's many faux bohemians, such as the bank clerk, who, using his beard for disguise, goes out in a floppy hat of an evening seeking relief from his humdrum existence. This copy, though in fairly unkempt and battered condition, with excellent provenance, having belonged to a member of the Ransome family, and it would seem, on good authority, to have returned to Arthur Ransome himself at some point after his aunt's death and resided on his own shelf.
