Cowles (Frederick) The Night Wind Howls

£2,750

London, Frederick Muller, 1938.

First edition. Inscribed presentation copy from the author. 8vo. Original green cloth. Dust-jacket, priced 7s6d.

Blessedly not the Ash-Tree Press edition that is normally the only way one finds this rare title these days, and with a nice personal inscription from the author, but unfortunately it looks like someone tried to suppress this weird & supernatural compilation through drowning! The slightly damaged inscription reads ‘To Mrs Hindes w[ith] the [author]’s compliments and very pleasant memories [of] a happy evening. Frederick Cowles 21st January 1941’.
