Slight tanning to spine panel and gilt on spine slightly dull; minor foxing to page edges, a nice, attractive copy in the pictorial wrap-around dust jacket which has a tiny bit of chipping at head & foot of spine panel and is slightly darkened along the spine, price corner on upper front flap clipped. The jacket on this copy is completely unrestored in any way; this American dust jacket is very fragile and is almost always badly chipped or repaired, unlike here. An excellent copy. The author's first novel, a classic of high fantasy. "I still think of him as the greatest and most convincing writer of 'invented worlds' that I have read. - J.R.R. Tolkien. This American edition dates from four years after the UK edition, which was published in 1922. This edition bears a preliminary note by James Branch Cabell praising the book which is not present in the earlier UK edition. The author never travelled to America, inscribed copies of this American edition are rare.
