IT HAPPENED IN EGYPT. Garden City: Doubleday, Page & Co., 1914. Octavo, pictorial brown cloth. First U. S. edition. Another of the Williamson's many transatlantic romance novels -- fourteen previous ones are listed on the credits page. This time a beautiful American rich girl, Monny Gilder (Rosamund Gilder, the Gilded Rose -- "the Cannon Princess, the Bertha Krupp of America" - page 6) falls in love with Captain Anthony Fenton, who along with his boyhood friend, the narrator, Lord Ernest Borrow, search for the fabulous golden pyramid in Egypt. Chatty, gossipy, long, outrageously improbable. Alice was born into an upper-class American family and grew up in New York State, but Smith, American Fiction, does not list her books. See Kemp, Mitchell and Trotter, Edwardian Fiction, p. 419. A bright, clean, nearly fine copy. (#114872).
Price: $25.00
