Beschreibung
Illustrated. New York and London: Harper & Brothers, 1900. 2 pp undated ads. Original red cloth with front cover monogram device in gilt. First Edition, first issue. The title story, one of Twain's darker themes, is "a parable about a smug all-American town whose citizens, never having been tempted, take pride in their honesty. A stranger sets in motion a test of their honor, and they fail" [MacDonnell]. The first issue, as here, has sheets bulking 1-1/16 inch-plus, and has "[page 2" on the plate facing page 2. Condition is near-fine (spine faded, as is typical for this red cloth; a little faint speckling on the rear cover). This first edition (bearing the date 1900 on the FRONT of the title leaf) is curiously uncommon. McBride p. 200; Blanck 3459. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 15026
