About This Item
cat40a. NY: Henry Holt, 1914. First edition. [352]pp. + 10pp. ads at rear. Blue cloth designed and lettered in white. Frontispiece in color, and one double-page plate by John Rae. Internally a decent copy, with only light soiling to a couple of pages, but the binding is very rubbed and quite soiled. The white lettering and design is virtually all gone, and the cloth is grubby. So, not a great copy, but a scarce book these days. Shipwrecked men on an unknown island discover a race of winged women. Reginald 05998. Bleiler, Science Fiction: The Early Years: 892. Reprinted in 1988, with an into by Ursula K. Leguin.
