Sobre este artículo
London: Jarrolds, (1919).. First edition. Blue boards stamped in blind, spine and front cover lettered in black, Fry's Cocoa symbol stamped on rear cover. Small repair to head of spine, paper browned, a clean very good copy in a slightly worn pictorial dust jacket, wear along folds, and splitting along folds internally repaired with clear tape. Quite an attractive copy. Short jokes and tales told at an inn, some told by the ghosts of monks from the ancient monastery upon which the inn is built. At least two bindings exist, as described by George Locke in Spectrum of Fantasy III. This is identical to his variety (a), save for the Fry's Cocoa ad on the back and the front cover decorations being in blind, while in his copy they are in black. It sounds like Locke's binding (b), buff cloth lettered in red & black, is likely the primary binding. Not so common in the dust jacket.
