Book Description

Beautiful dark cream half-leather binding with rose marbled boards, raised gilded spine bands, leather mount to spine with gilt titles, matching rose marbled endpapers and all edges rose marble. 279pp. A period binding to the very highest standard (I estimate it would cost circa £100+ today to have a book thus bound). Trivial wear, a bright copy of a very attractive book. Praed's first 'bona fide' novel of the supernatural, a wonderfully atmospheric tale detailing the malign psychic influence that an artist exerts over a young girl (allegedly based upon Oscar Wilde). Features a fictional medium said to have been based upon the noted occultist Madame Blavatksy. A rare book, easily the most attractive Tauchnitz volume I have encountered.
