About This Item
London : Cassell & Co., (1916). First edition. "One of the strangest of all the adventures which have befallen me in the course of a life that so far can scarcely be called tame or humdrum" - in the Allan Quatermain series, and "is especially welcome on that account. But more than this, it is the best and greatest of the series. It is never less than delightful, and for the greater part is profoundly thrilling" (Western Mail, 15th January 1916). Crown 8vo (20cm). [viii],344pp. Coloured frontispiece and three plates by A. C. Michael - Arthur Cadwgan Michael (1881-1965). Original brown cloth, ruled and lettered in blind on upper cover, lettered across spine in gilt; slightly bowed; a touch of rubbing; mild spotting of edges and endpapers, but a very good copy. Contemporary "Royal Naval War Libraries" stamp on front pastedown - although the book has evidently never seen library use.
