About this Item

First edition. Inscribed by Somerville to her niece "'For Katharine with love from D. May 5 1928.' 'D' was the family diminutive for Edith. The recipient was Katharine Johnston (n�e Coghill), whose bookplate adorns the front pastedown. Additionally signed by the author on the title-page. 8vo., Original red boards, lettered in gilt to spine. With dustwrapper. Browning to preliminaries, (Somerville family) bookplate to front pastedown, a little wear to spine ends, but a very good copy in a very good dustwrapper, chip to head of (browned) spine not affecting text. Somerville and her writing partner, her cousin Violet Martin ('Martin Ross') wrote theIrish R.M.stories together. Violet died in 1915, but Edith, firm believer in the afterlife and a regular attender of seances, used the 'Somerville and Ross' authorial description for the rest of her career. The dedication to this book reads: 'To My Collaborator.' An excellent family association.
