THE LOST VALLEY AND OTHER STORIES. London: Eveleigh Nash, 1910. Octavo, pp. [i-iv] v-vi 7-328, eight inserted plates with black and white illustrations by W. Graham Robertson, publisher's green cloth, front panel stamped in black and blind, spine panel stamped in gold, publisher's device stamped in blind on rear panel, bottom edge untrimmed. First edition, first printing. Ashley errs in his plate count; the correct compliment is eight including the frontispiece. Collects ten stories including the classic "The Wendigo." The author's fourth collection of short fiction and one of his best. Robertson's illustrations are superb. Ashley, Who's Who in Horror and Fantasy Fiction, pp. 36-7.
