Beschreibung

1st Edition, 1st Printing - the original, not the 1930's reprint. Small, narrow book with original publisher's vellum spine and corner tips over light blue cloth boards. Paper title labels on front and spine are in Very Good+ condition. Book overall is NEAR FINE, with minor soiling on cream spine and former owners pasted in inscription to his mother on FFEP. Harrison Garfield Rhodes (1871-1929) was, like his father before him, known to his friends as "Hal." He was a successful American playwright and novelist, and worked as a managing editor for two of his friends and college classmates, Herbert Stone and Ingalls Kimball, who had established two magazines, THE CHAP BOOK, and THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL. He traveled widely in the U.S. and throughout Europe as both an author and a literary agent for Stone & Kimball and counted among his friends some of the most prominent authors of his time. After his mother's death in 1918 Rhodes established seasonal residency in Daytona Beach, Florida with his younger sister Margaret and continued to write, by this time, mostly travel books. Margaret Rhodes (1875-1959), although not as prolific as her older brother, was also an author. In 1931, she commissioned a private reprinting of this book, with an introduction by Anthony Hope.
