About this Item

1900. First American edition. 290pp. and 4 black and white plates by Archie Gunn. Albert Kinross (1870-1929) was an English journalist, magazine editor and writer. He worked and published in many of the most popular periodicals of his day including 'London Outlook' and the 'London Morning Post', and contributed articles to 'Century', 'Harper's Magazine', 'The Pall Mall Magazine' and 'The Windsor Magazine'. He was a special correspondent in Russia during the Russo-Japanese War in 1905-06, and in 1907 he gave up journalism and became a full-time novelist. His novels are very hard to find in any condition. 'An Opera and Lady Grasmere' is his third novel, first published in the UK in 1899. The book is bound in the original green cloth covered boards with silver titling and coloured designs on the front board and spine. The book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling on the boards. The spine ends are bumped and the spine is slightly darkened. The contents are tight and clean with a little insect damage visible near the spine on pages 287 onwards and on the rear endpapers. The endpapers are slightly browned with an inscription on the front free endpaper. Seller Inventory # LitKinross03
