The story was serialized in the Saturday Evening Post between February and April 1936 prior to its publication in book form on 9 April. A second printing, distinguished by the lack of the publisher's device on the copyright page, was issued in the following month. Provenance: from the collection of the Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts (1941-2021), with his posthumous bookplate. Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine and front cover lettered in black within a rubber band border, top edge yellow, fore and bottom edges untrimmed. Spine ends bumped and sunned, cloth otherwise vivid; unclipped jacket spine lightly sunned, else bright, shallow chip to spine ends, rubbing and a few nicks to edges: a near-fine copy in like jacket.
