First  Edition.  Decorated cloth. Illustrated with eight color  plates
and  text drawings by Charles Livingston Bull. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by
the  author  to J. W. Speare "with compliments" and dated Glen  Ellen,
Calif.   29  December  1909.  A   small  (2-1/8"  x  1-5/8")  original
photograph  of  London is pasted to the front pastedown  opposite  the
inscription  on the front endpaper. Ink in inscription a little light,
likely  right from the time of its creation as London has gone  over a
few  letters in his last name. The rear endpaper and the last leaf  of
ads  (of  three)  lacking. Cloth somewhat dingy  but  decorations  and
lettering  on  cover  very  strong and spine somewhat  less  so.  In a
fairly  old specially made cloth slipcase. A Good or better copy  in a
Very Good slipcase.                                           $1500.00
