Fato Profugus - The White Olive and Other Romances of the Riviera - T. Fisher Unwin, 1899, First Edition.

London, T. Fisher Unwin, 1899. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. Collects four short stories, the first two being fantasy / supernatural tales. An interesting collection, and seemingly uncommon. This is noted as the 'corrected copy' and has numerous autograph corrections throughout, presumably by the author. There are also a couple of notes and photos tipped in. Laid in is a post card from sellers Bernard Quaritch noting that the book's limited to 200 copies, and suggests the name's a pseudonym, as expected. Glue to the rear pastedown where the postcode was pasted, two pasted newspaper clippings to the rear endpaper. Some tanning to the spine, a little bumping to the tips and corners. A little light foxing. [11488, Hyraxia Books].
