London: Macmillan & Co. 1912. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Publisher's original green cloth with gilt decorated titles to the upper board and spine, in dustwrapper. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm, the text block barely spotted, with a very mild bump to the lower board's top corner and small stain the the upper board corner. The contents, with a previous owner's gift inscription to the front free endpaper and mild spotting to the endpapers. In the poor original dustwrapper, which has toning and major loss to the spine, taped to the underside although the front and rear panels remain surprisingly intact. Very scarce in the dustwrapper. A comic tale drawing on Irish folklore. Provenance: From the library of Martin Stone. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
