The very scarce first edition of this fantastical novel by Louis 'Ganpat' Gompertz. The very scarce first edition, first impression of this thrilling novel.The work of Louis Gompertz, an Indian born British soldier and writer who adopted the pseudonym 'Ganpat', after finding that this was the nearest his Indian troops could get to pronouncing 'Gompertz'.Most of Ganpat's stories were set in the Himalayas, and often relay fantastical adventures in the style of the works of H. Rider Haggard. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Boards bright, with significant fading to back strip. Internally, firmly bound, but with half title detached to tail. Pages clean and bright, but adhesive residue to title page gutter. Very Good Indeed. Seller Inventory # 902F32
