Item description from seller

Three-volume set of Plays by August Strindberg, comprising the First Series, Second Series, and Fourth Series, translated with introductions by Edwin Björkman and published by Duckworth & Co., London, in 1924. The set is bound in the publisher's original tan cloth with black lettering and decorative rules to the front boards. Contents include some of Strindberg's most important dramatic works, including The Dream Play, The Link, The Dance of Death (Parts I & II), Miss Julia, The Stronger, Creditors, Pariah, The Bridal Crown, The Spook Sonata, The First Warning, and Gustavus Vasa. A handsome early Duckworth edition, increasingly difficult to find in matching volumes and appealing to collectors of Scandinavian literature, modern drama, and early twentieth-century theatre. Condition: Good. Three matching volumes in original publisher's cloth. Bindings sound and secure. Black lettering remains clear and legible. Moderate rubbing and shelf wear to boards, with fraying and bumping to spine ends, most noticeable on Volume I. Former owner's stamp ("Clive Harper") to front endpapers. Pages generally clean and bright with light age toning and occasional minor marks. A few scattered stains and handling marks present, but text remains clear throughout. No dust jackets, as issued or not present. Contents: First Series The Dream Play The Link The Dance of Death, Part I The Dance of Death, Part II Second Series There Are Crimes and Crimes Miss Julia The Stronger Creditors Pariah Fourth Series The Bridal Crown The Spook Sonata The First Warning Gustavus Vasa Collation: Complete as issued for the three volumes present Seller Notes: Third Series not included.

Store description

Step into the world of Cranston & Perry, where every shelf holds a little history and every book has a story beyond the one printed on its pages. We seek out books with character, from time-worn editions with foxed pages, beautiful bindings and forgotten inscriptions, to collectable children’s books, literary classics, unusual finds and modern voices worth rediscovering. Some are rare. Some are wonderfully ordinary. Some have travelled through generations before reaching us. What matters is that each deserves to find the right reader and a new place on the shelf. Part antiquarian bookseller, part treasure hunter and entirely devoted to books, Cranston & Perry celebrates literature in all its forms: beautiful, rebellious, curious, scholarly, nostalgic and occasionally rather strange. Every book has a past. Every reader begins another chapter. We simply bring the two together.…
