Price reduced to $200 NET

CHESTERTON, G. K. THE BALL AND THE CROSS. New York: John Lane Company, 
1909. First Edition. The true first, preceding the English edition, of 
this rather scarce early fantasy novel by Chesterton. According to an 
article in the New York Times of 4 December 2009, this title is said to 
"encourage Christians at a time when the practical results of 
Christianity are criticised on all sides, but the agnostic will find 
brilliant arguments to support his point of view." Owner name dated 1911 
on the front endpaper. Light fraying to the tips of the spine which is 
darkened but with the gilt still clear. Very Good, lacking the 
exceptionally scarce dustwrapper. (#015524)        $500.00
