Book desription: London: Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, and Rivington, 1882. First edition. The First Edition of Bram Stoker's first Novel, with illustrations by W. Fitzgerald and W. V. Cockburn, in very good condition (cover soiled as usual, lacking tissue overleaves to the engraved plates, some handling soil to some pages) in the publishers original beveled vellum lettered and ruled in gold and red, a.e.g. A collection of eight stories for children, but with illustrations that likely caused fear and nightmares. The Novel begins: "Far, far away, there is a beautiful Country which no human eye has ever seen in waking hours. Under the Sunset it lies, where the distant horizon bounds the day, and where the clouds, splendid with light and colour, give a promise of the glory and beauty which encompass it. Sometimes it is given to us to see it in dreams. This Country is the Land Under the Sunset. This is the story of that Country, and what happened when evil came to abide there. It is a story all of us must hear." A Very Good copy of an uncommon book. Bram Stoker's first Novel.
