Description:
New York: The Macmillan Co, 1931. First Edition. Octavo. Author's first book. 277(1)pp., A short story split into four sections, each section taking a different tone. Set during the Rebellion, two soldiers from the enemy's camp, held as hostages and entertained in the friendliest way, are led out to be reluctantly shot by their host; a wife betrays her brutal husband to the enemy; and more. A very nice copy bound in blue gray cloth lettered and decorated in gilt, spine lettering gilt, a couple of corners lightly bumped, a near fine copy in very good in unclipped pictorial dust jacket with light chipping and soiling to spine and edge of rear panel, an abrasion to upper right corner of front panel .

First edition. This is a fine rebound copy. The leather calf binding is tight and without wear. The title is finely gilt on the spine. The boards are tight and without play. The text blocks are bright and clean and the internals are only slightly toned at the edges due to poor wartime paper stock. This copy is free from previous owner's ink. With two pages of advertisements in the rear. Overall, this is a fine, albeit basic, rebound copy of a fine title.
