Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition; From the library of Eugene Field. 8vo. 575 pp. plus a two-page publisher's advertisement. Illustrated by Daniel Carter Beard. Mixed state. The S-like ornament on page 59 is not present. No damage to type on page 72.. Rebound in half morocco and decorative endpapers. Rubbing to the extremities. Original green cloth bound into the back of the book.
The book appears to be signed by Mark Twain and Eugene Field. The signatures, though quite convincing, are likely forgeries made by the famed forger Eugene "Pinny" Field II (1879-1946) and Harry Dayton Sickles, working in tandem. Field's father, Eugene Field (1850-1895), was a newspaper columnist, poet, and book collector. After his death, Eugene Field's book collection passed on to his son. The younger Field developed the ability to imitate the autographs of the authors his father had collected as well as the signature of his father. As a result, Field II used his skills to create "signed" copies of his father's books, and, thus, more profitable. It is believed that Field and Sickles went on to falsify more than one hundred Abraham Lincoln documents as well as signatures of numerous other famous figures including Mark Twain, Rudyard Kipling, Frederic Remington, Theodore Roosevelt, and Robert Louis Stevenson. These forgeries have become collectible in their own right.
