About This Item
New York: Liveright Publishing Company, 1929. Early reprint edition . Hardcover. Very Good. Originally published by G.P. Putnam in 1919. "Although it is sheer dream-fantasy, Gernsback reprinted it in Amazing Stories in 1927, and it proved to be one of the most popular stories ever to appear there. The introductory novelette is a celebration of the lure of exotic imaginary worlds, a vital element in the tradition of American pulp science fiction." Quoted from Barron; Anatomy of Wonder 4, 2-87. "Fine imagination, fast motion, ridiculous characterizations, pretentious style, but still one of the historically important works of early American pulp science fiction and fantasy." Quoted from Blieler; The Guide To Supernatural Fiction, 1156. Bound in original black cloth with lettering in gilt. A good to very good copy, without dust jacket.
