London, Jarrold & Sons, 1896. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. A collection of tall tales, with an element of the Weird. Some bumping to the spine tips and a little rubbing to the boards. A couple of plates are a little shaken, and would pop out if you yanked them. A little light foxing and a gift inscription. Illustrations by Paul Hardy [11267, Hyraxia Books].
