About This Item
London : Methuen & Co., (1913). First edition. The further adventures of "The Card" - Edward Henry Machin stumbles into theatrical management in London and pursues Isabel Joy, the suffragette, to appear in his play. "There is no one in contemporary fiction so immense as Edward Henry Machin. He never wearies, because he always surprises and because Mr. Arnold Bennett never once errs in his presentation of him. 'The Regent' is as good, if not better, than 'The Card' and that is, indeed, saying a great deal" (The Globe, 12th September 1913). Crown 8vo (20cm). (viii),(320)pp. Original cloth - the uncommon red variant - attractively blocked and lettered in gilt; a touch sunned; tiny mark to spine; endpapers lightly tanned; some spotting, mainly to edges and prelims, but overall a very good copy. Contemporary pencilled ownership inscription of Emily and Henry Catchpole (a bookbinder) of Richmond Road, Dalston.
