New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1924. First American Trade Edition. Frontispiece illustration by S.H. Sime. Octavo, 301 pp. Blue cloth with gilt imprint on cover and spine. Spine a little faded, light rubbing to ends and corners; moderate foxing, most notable on page edges; distinctive bookplate of legendary art and literature collector Grenville Lindall Winthop [1864-1943], a Harvard alumnus who bequeathed his entire art collection to that university, affords a bit of association status.

Simes' magical frontispiece illustrations. A seminal voice in the fantasy-science fiction genre, Dunsany also wrote The Sword of Welleran, The Gods of Pegana, Time and the Gods, A Dreamer's Tale, The Book of Wonder, If, Tales of Wonder, and others. Hard to find; as associated with Winthrop, presumably unique. L-36n
