What Our Customers Say...
Description
In the publisher's original blue cloth binding.
The first edition of this collection of five tales described by Virginia Woolf as 'a little masterpiece'.
The book comprises five fictional “biographies” of eccentric fin-de-siècle characters from the 1890s, with Beerbohm positioning himself humorously as the seventh among them.
One of the stories, "Enoch Soames," satirically portrays a struggling poet who makes a Faustian pact to discover how posterity will perceive him.
With four pages of publisher's advertisements to the rear.
Condition
In the publisher's original blue cloth binding. Externally, very smart. The slightest rubbing and bumping to extremities. Very slight offsetting to endpapers. The odd very slight handling mark to boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean, if slightly age toned with the odd spot, heavier to fore edge.
