A good copy of the 1st edition, 1st impression, in the original cloth binding with titles and spider web design to the front board, and titles to spine. It is a scarce title and contains 5 stories starting with The Residence at Whitminster. The binding is clean with light wear and cloth loss at the corners. There is light rubbing to spine joints and ends. The bottom edges of the boards are rubbed. Internally, the endpapers are without ownership markings, and are slightly browned. The contents are complete and clean. There is some spotting, particularly at the page edges and in the text in the early leaves of the first story and on page 152. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.
