Anonymous [Mary Diana Dods aka Walter Sholto Douglas] - Tales of the Wild and the Wonderful - Hurst, Robinson, & Co., 1825, First Edition.

London, Hurst, Robinson, & Co., 1825. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A good copy. A collection of five tales in the folklore / fairy tales vein. Comprising: "The Prediction","The Yellow Dwarf","Der Freischutz","The Fortunes of De La Pole","Lord of the Maelstrom". Quite uncommon. I hesitate to describe this as being in the original boards, because in this case that's not really a bonus. A good chunk of the paper covering is either missing or scuffed, there's a later leather spine too. Internally though it's excellent. Collector's plate to the front pastedown, C.J. Peacock. Some dustiness to the block edges. Tanning to the title page and a little fingering. No half-title. [11991, Hyraxia Books].
