Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. George Illian (illustrator). First Edition. Gift inscription on front pastedown from author HERVEY ALLEN to DWIGHT FRANKLIN (illustrator of, among other things, some works by TALBOT MUNDY) The inscription, dated in 1923 is somewhat amusing, though hard to read: "To Dwight Franklin / from Hervey Allen / in memory of the girl / with the dark (two illegible words) eye / and her hair (illegible) / down in ringelets / (address and date)" The book itself is an amusing short poem about Captain Kidd, the alleged pirate, with a clever pun at the end. Illustrated with woodblock illustrations. The binding (pink cardboard) is broken along the spine and liable to detach at any moment and crumble. Internally, a very good copy with typically slightly darkening paper. Illustrator Dwight Franklin's bookplate is on the front pastedown. He must have had an interest in pirate stories because the bookplate shows a pirate type ship and he later wrote a book dealing with pirates. Inscribed by Author(s). Book.
