The first edition of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch's final finished novel, with this particular copy belonging to English Victorian socialite, Lady Edward Cecil. The first edition. Uncommon work. This copy belonged to English socialite of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, Violet Milner, or as she was previously known, Lady Edward Cecil after she married the son of Prime Minister Salisbury, Lord Edward Cecil. With her signature to the head of the front board. Written by British author, Arthur Quiller-Couch, known as 'Q', who was best known for his prolific novel-writing, as well as for his important publication of 'The Oxford Book of English Verse'. Quiller-Couch was born in the Cornish town of Bodmin, with this upbringing having a large influence on his writing, such as this one.
