London: William Heinemann Ltd., 1912. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Very good olive green cloth. Some wear, soiling, tanning to endpapers, no jacket. 1912, 12mo, (vi), 718pp. 2 pages advertising bound in. Pseudonym of Clotilde (Inez Mary) Graves (1863-1932). Wrote other supernatural stories. "Clotilde Augusta Inez Mary Graves (1863-1932), the daughter of Major W.H. Graves and Antoinette Dean of Harwich, was born at Buttevant castle on 3 June 1863. She was cousin of Alfred Perceval Graves, the father of the poet Robert Graves. Convent educated in Lourdes, she converted to Catholicism and embarked on a literary career. She was a successful London and New York playwright who enjoyed considerable literary acclaim in the first decades of the 20th century. In 1911, under the pseudonym of Richard Dehan, she published The Dop Doctor. It was made into a film in 1915 by Fred Paul. The film gave considerable offence in South Africa due the harsh portrayal of English and Dutch characters. It was eventually banned under the Defence of the Realm Act. The story hinges around a drunken and disgraced medic who eventually makes his way to South Africa where he redeems his honour at the siege of Mafeking. Albert Gérard, in his European-language writing in Sub Saharan Africa ISBN 9630538326, regards the book's description of the siege of Mafeking "as a heroic justification of British Imperial strategy and the vindication of a belief in the righteousness and superiority of the British cause. The Dop Doctor contains pro-Jingo arguments of the type which offers the stereotypical portrait of the Boer as backward and despicably primitive, and the black man as a shadow figure behind the civilizing foreground, an appendage of an argument over what to do with his labour". Between Two Thieves and One Braver Thing followed in 1914. She died at Hatch End, Middlesex on 3 December 1932." Wikipedia
