About This Item
Introduction by Clemence Dane. Three stories with mild fantastic elements by a peculiar novelist. Mentioned in Bleiler. Yellow buckram, gold titling, t.e.g., no dustjacket or slipcase. The rear fold for the dustjacket is still present, with a bit of its original glassine -- no text on it. Signed on limitation page by Houghton, who truncated his full name (Claude Houghton Oldfield) for his fiction. A very nice production, in fine condition with the spine bottom slightly dented -- pencil notes of former seller on front pastedown. Spine reads upwards, in British fashion. Uncommon.
