Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. This is a nicely preserved copy of the Second Printing of Frank R. Stockton's collection of stories, eponymously titled after the first story in the book, "The Magic Egg and Other Stories". Published posthumously in 1908 by Charles Scribner's Sons, the book is graced with nine plate illustrations in monochrome by various artists. Here again were happy readers given twelve fresh stories by one of America's favorite authors. *********************** Stockton was famous - a justly popular - for his genial stories - many of them fairy tales, and designed for children. But adults enjoyed them as well and no wonder, for Stockton used gentle humor and irony rather than didactic preaching to communicate his points (unbridled greed, abuse of power, meanness and violence all were targets of his intellect). His most famous story is "The Lady of the Tiger", which still sets English classes to discussion. ************************* In this book there are the following excellent stories: The Magic Egg / "His Wife's Deceased Sister / The Widow's Cruise / Captain Eli's Best Ear / Love Before Breakfast / The Staying Power of Sir Rohan / A Piece of Red Calico / The Christmas Wreck / My Well and What Came Out of It / Mr. Tolman / My Unwilling Neighbor / Our Archery Club TITLE : The magic Egg and Other Stories / AUTHOR : Frank R. Stockton (Frank Richard Stockton, 1834 - 1902) / IMPRINT : Charles Scribner's Son's / PLACE : New York / DATE : 1908 / EDITION : Second Printing, with Scribner's device on copyright page. / PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : Trade hardcover; [vii] + 302 pages. Fly-leaves, fore and aft; approximately 4 7/8" x 7 5/16"; finely ribbed, dark green, cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on spine, and publisher's monograph stamped in gilt on front board; top edge gilt; fore- and bottom edges are rough trimmed. **************************** CONDITION -VERY GOOD - This is a previously owned book which is not a perfect copy, but remains clean and attractive, with the following imperfections noted: EXTERIOR - Moderate compression to spine extremities; spine displays but mild weathering - gilt bright; The front board has four transparent water drop spots (one just barely discernible); else the boards have modest surface rub; the gilt monogram on the front board is bright. top edge gilt is rubbed and a bit dulled; fore- and bottom edges toned but clean. / BINDING - It is obvious that the book has been read, and thus the text-block is not so tight as when issued, with the leaves opening quite widely, but the text block remains fairly solid and no leaves are detached or loose . / INTERIOR - There are a few scattered smudges and minute spots, but basically basically clean and presentable, with no writing or marking. The signature and address of the original owner is written in ink on the front flyleaf. (L. E. Swain, Oswego, N.Y.).
