COLLINS, Suzanne. Gregor the Overlander. NY: Scholastic [2003]. 8vo, [viii] 311pp. purple quarter-cloth stamped in bronze with aquamarine boards stamped in gold. Aquamarine endpapers. A fine copy in original color pictorial dust jacket. First edition. The first book by the NY Times best-selling author of The Hunger Games, and the first book in the Underland chronicles. When Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where giant spiders, rats, and cockroaches coexist uneasily with humans. This world is on the brink of war and Gregor's arrival is no accident. A prophecy foretells that Gregor has a role to play in the Underland's uncertain future. Gregor wants no part of it – until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance. Reluctantly, Gregor embarks on a dangerous adventure that will change both him and the Underland forever.

Reddish brown cloth, titled in gilt on front and spine; plain endpapers; xvi,488pp. A straight copy, rubbed and discolored, front joint cracking and repaired, some soiling to endpapers, else internally clean: Good. Dickens' final novel was left incomplete after his death; James claimed to have finished it by channeling Dickens as a spirit medium. This edition includes prefaces by both the medium and the author (the latter supposedly dictated through James as well). The book drew a fair amount of credulous attention, including praise from Arthur Conan Doyle.
