The Purple Land
Paperback
(Forgotten Books Jan. 19, 2018)
Excerpt from The Purple LandWe are often told that an author never wholly loses his affection for a first book, and the feeling has been likened (more than once) to that of a parent towards a first-born. I have not said it, but in consenting to this reprint I considered that a writer's early or unre garded work is apt to be raked up when he is not standing by to make remarks. He may be absent on a journey from which he is not expected to return. It accordingly seemed better that I should myself supervise a new edition, since this would enable me to remove a few of the numerous spots and pimples which decorate the ingen ious countenance of the work before handing it on to posterity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
