Publisher's log blind stamped to front panel; bottom edges untrimmed; 317 pp. Publisher's adverts laid in at rear. Collection of stories "This is a collection of short stories of which the first, which gives its name to the book, is hardly the best. That distinction is reserved for " Marsh Horny," into which the author has contrived to get more than a touch of the rather uncanny charm of Romney Marsh. "Heroic Polly " is also a good story, though the massacre at the end of it is too complete for most people's tastes. On the other hand "Mrs. Busby-Glaisher's Awakening" is disagreeable in every sense of the word, and it is difficult to find out quite what the author is driving at in the end." - The Spectator Archive 4/22/1911
Book Condition: Very Good+: A firm copy with mild wear to spine edges and corners. Moderate wear to spine cloth; sunning to spine. Mild foxing to fore and bottom edges of text block with occasional mild foxing to page margins. No jacket present.
Notes: fantasticfiction: "English author who largely wrote mainstream adventure and detective fiction, but also supernatural and fantasy stories. Sometimes used the pseudonym R. Edison Page."
