(#109551) TWO OF THEM. Barrie.

TWO OF THEM. New York: Lovell, Coryell & Company, [1893]. Octavo, pp. [1-5] 6 [7-9] 10-282 [283-286: ads], ten inserted plates, original pictorial blue cloth, front panel stamped in black, white and gold, spine panel stamped in white and gold. First edition. An unauthorized publication of short fiction and literary sketches, most previously published in AN AULD LICHT MANSE and A TILLYLOSS SCANDAL. According to Cutler, the paperbound issue of this book was published on 25 April 1893 and the "original sheets were used" for this ( later?) bind-up in blue cloth. The title pages of both paperbound and clothbound issues give the publisher's address as "5 and 7 East Sixteenth Street." There are several variants of the cloth bound copies; here the cloth is not beveled and a much reduced example of the frontispiece illustration is pasted on the front cover. Includes "The Family Honor," a Gothic tale about a human monstrosity chained up by his family in their castle's dungeon, who gets loose and crashes a ball upstairs. Cutler 36. Early owner's signature dated 1893 on front free endpaper. Touch of wear to spine ends and corner tips, a few scuffs to the rear cover, but a bright, very good copy. (#109551).

Price: $125.00
