Description:
HE By the Author of "It," "King Solomon's Wives," "Bess," "Much Darker Days," "Mr Morton's Subtler" and Other Romances Published by Longmans, London, 1887 This was written by Andrew Lang, and L.W. Curry also lists Walter Herries Pollock as a co-author, and claims that perhaps Haggard himself also leant some assistance to Lang and Pollock. A parody of H. Rider Haggard's SHE that "consists of adventures around London paralleling those of Holly and Vincey, culminating in a swindle." - Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction, p. 299. The supernatural (curses, witchcraft, etc.) are parodied and rationalized. An amusing story. Bleiler, p. 118. Reginald 08596. Scott 625. The photos are very helpful in depicting the exact book you are going to buy and I only use actual photos. I can send you more if need be, so please email me
