Beschreibung

First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 29pp sewn into lettered card wrappers. The wrappers splitting and tender at the natural fold, and a little rubbed and nicked at the yapped edges. Several preliminary and concluding leaves lightly spotted and with a contemporary date (1912) neatly inked to the head of the title leaf. A good, bright if slightly handled copy of the author's early one-act verse play, the second that he self-published [in an edition of circa 500 copies]. With a printed dedication "To Arthur Ransome. My Friend". The verse-play was subsequently included in the first volume of Edward Marsh's 'Georgian Poetry' anthology series (1912); and Abercrombie eventually expanded the play by a further five acts, the full six-act version being published in 1930. [A light item, UK postage will be reduced]. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers BC15647
