First Edition
First edition. Octavo. 189 pages. Original grey-brown cloth lettered in gilt. Pasted onto the front pastedown is a newspaper cutting with a notice of her death: "A journalist, who sought an interview with her a year or two ago, was congratulating himself on his success when Mrs. Ros discovered that he was connected with the Press. She promptly threw an inkpot at him." She was subjected to a certain amount of critical abuse. Irene Iddesleigh is her first book and has often been made a candidate for "the worst novel in the world". Mark Twain called it "one of the greatest unintentionally humorous novels of all time" while the humorist Barry Pain called it "the book of the century . a thing that happens once in a million years". The author retaliated and in the preface to her next novel Delina Delaney called Pain "a clay crab of corruption" and claimed that he was hostile towards the book only because he was secretly in love with her. With the errata slip, which almost certainly has been amended in the author's hand: "Printers' Errors - A.M.M. (i.e. Ann Margaret McKittrick , her maiden name being one of several she used)." This would make sense because she financed the publication of the book. It also reflects something of her character as she evidently worried that the printing errors might be attributed to her.Cover edges just a little rubbed. Very good.
