London, Jarrolds & Co., 1903. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A near fine copy. A lost race novel set in New Zealand in the H. Rider Haggard vein. Manuscript correction to page 200, initialled by the author. A little bumping to the spine tips, title page tipped in as is probably to be expected - the jury's out as to if this is an issue point. Front endpaper missing. A nice copy otherwise. [10953, Hyraxia Books].
