About this Item
Description:
First edition of the author's first book, published when she was just 14 years' old; 4to, pp. xxvii, [1], 111, [1]; engraved vignette title page, 12 other wood-engraved vignettes throughout; original blue paper-covered boards, printed paper label on spine; extremities rubbed, label rubbed and spine darkened and with a small chip at the bottom; all else very good. Includes a lengthy 19-page subscribers' list here annotated in pencil next to a half-dozen names. Pickering & Chatto note: "Although it received some harsh criticism, her book was sufficiently interesting to Shelley for him to make repeated efforts to meet her (young Felicia's reported beauty may also have been an inducement) - but her mother prevented what would have been an interview fraught with possibilities.".
