About This Item
Sauk City, Wisconsin, Stanton & Lee, 1948. . First edition, first printing, signed by the author on front free endpaper; 8vo; mild toning to text block extremities; publisher's cloth, a fine, sharp copy, with two variant dust-jackets, both priced $3 and with jacket artwork by Ronald Clyne, but with variant portraits of the author, one with superficial damage to lower panel, otherwise both very good.
The fourth publication in the author's Sac Prairie Saga, chronicling life in a Wisconsin village from the mid-19th century onwards, a far cry from the call of Cthulu and the other inter-dimensional horrors that Derleth, co-founder of Arkham House, is also famously associated with. Signed and with two variant dust-jackets.
