Description

Exceptionally scarce collection of four short stories from Margaret Ann Curtois, more so for being signed by her as a presentation copy to fep, dated Dec 4 1907. A well-regarded but non-prolific author, Curtois (1855-1932) covered various genres, including children's books, fairy tales and fiction. Her 1926 crime novel In Minden Town is especially sought after. There is an element of mystery/the supernatural around the tales in this volume, which is in general good order throughout. Stock lightly toned to edges with very occasional foxing, but this minor. Binding opening a little but all holding firm. Printed heavy card boards with green cloth to spine. These lightly worn and a little marked, moreso to top of front board. 12mo. 104pp
