Descrizione

8vo., First Trade Edition, with frontispiece and numerous illustrations in the text; maroon cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. The first (limited) edition was published a month earlier. 'That so considerable a piece of prose could have lain in MS at a publisher's for nearly a decade and then, though printed when Hardy's reputation was at a peak in the year after 'Tess', have gone unnoticed and disappeared from memory are facts as surprising as any in Hardy's bibliography' (Purdy: A Bibliography of Thomas Hardy). Uncommon in this condition. Purdy, p.301-3.
