About this Item
Octavo, 39pp. A very good copy in the publisher's white cloth, stamped in gilt. Thin dust-soiling to extremities. In the uncommon dust jacket, chipped at a few corners, but overall about very good, with a faint ring stain on the front panel. Limited to 1000 unnumbered copies on handmade paper. This volume was purported to be a posthumously-discovered manuscript of Oscar Wilde's, though it was later revealed to be a forgery by Mabel Cosgrove Wodehouse Pearse (AKA Mrs. Chan Toon), an Irish novelist. Despite this unhappy history, nevertheless an important volume in the wider Wilde bibliographical canon. Seller Inventory # 8480
