Descrizione
8vo., Second Edition, neat contemporary signature on front free endpaper; red pebble-grain cloth, upper board ruled in blind and blocked in gilt, gilt back, uncut, hinges starting (but binding wholly sound), a very good, bright, clean copy. With 4pp publisher's catalogue at end. Collects five of Hardy's finest short stories: An Imaginative Woman, The Three Strangers, The Withered Arm, Fellow-Townsmen, Interlopers at the Knap, and The Distracted Preacher. The work was never reprinted in its original two-volume form (1888). ‘Macmillan reissued the collection in one volume in an edition of 1,500 copies in late February 1889.’ See Purdy, p.60.
