London, Duckworth, 1905. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. Inscribed by the author to Vera Rattigan, mother of the playwright Terrance Rattigan. Vaguely fantastical, with an appearance of Sherlock Holmes. Cloth a touch grubby, tips bumped, dop edge dusty. Some markings to the spine. [11025, Hyraxia Books].
