£75
Los Angeles & Toronto, Borden, [1949].
‘Memorial Edition’. 8vo. Original brick red cloth. Dust-jacket, priced $3.50.
A very nice example of this memorial edition reprinting one of Merritt’s most famous works, an Arabian Nights type fable, from the serialised text for the story’s original appearance in Argosy (1924), as opposed to the first book edition published by Putnam in 1926.
