About this Item

Signed by the Author. Octavo,hardcover, gilt lettering and stamped decoration to upper cover, map illustrated endpapers, uncut (some unopened), top edge gilt, xvi, 165 pp. Near Fine. From Foreword: On the soil of that many-legended island, whose true history is here revealed, I first had the keen pleasure of listening to some of these pages, still in manuscript. With a small party of friends, we leaned against roofless walls of grey coquina, in a chambered ruin, overshadowed from the quick Floridian sunshine by ghostly hanging mosses, which the sea-warm air stirred on their ancient cedar boughs. And soon, in strange consonance with that air and scene, there came on the reader's voice an unforgettable word of dulcet vowels -- the earliest name of that island -- Alimacani.
