    Description

    Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    First published in 1898, this work is very scarce in all editions.

    Illustrated with a frontispiece and fourteen plates from Herbert Cole. Collated, complete.

    A charming and thrilling children's tale from Hesketh Hesketh-Prichard, with assistance from his mother, Kate O'Brien Ryall Prichard. It was Hesketh's first published work, sold to Pall Mall Magazine for a guinea in 1896.

    The novel culminates in the titular duel between the Englishman Tammer, and the Frenchman with whom he has a longstanding enmity.

    Throughout his career, Hesketh collaborated with his, the two writing as "E & H Heron" and as "K and Hesketh Prichard". They created three popular characters: bandit Don Q; November Joe, and Flaxman Low, the first professional full-time Occult Detective 

    In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding.
