Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Reynolds Stone (illustrator). First U.S. edition.

Three additional wood engravings printed in brown, as are the initial letters. The book was printed at the Queen Anne Press in London and this copy is described as the edition "for the United States of America".
