"Harry Leon Wilson (May 1, 1867 – June 28, 1939) was an American novelist and dramatist best known for his novels Ruggles of Red Gap and Merton of the Movies. His novel Bunker Bean helped popularize the term flapper." "Wilson returned to New York where he met Booth Tarkington in 1904, and Tarkington and Wilson traveled together to Europe in 1905. The two completed the play The Man from Home in 1906 in Paris. The play was a resounding success and was followed by more collaborations with Tarkington, but none repeated the success of the first. Wilson was elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1908. Wilson returned from Europe and settled permanently into the Bohemian colony at Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, which included among its artists and literati Jack London, Mary Hunter Austin, George Sterling, Upton Sinclair, Xavier Martinez, Ambrose Bierce, Alice MacGowan, Sinclair Lewis, Francis McComas, and Arnold Genthe. It was during this period that Wilson wrote the books for which he is most well known, Bunker Bean (1913) and Ruggles of Red Gap (1915). After a brief stint in Hollywood, he composed Merton of the Movies in 1922." (from Wikipedia); Signed by Associated. Very Good .

Boston, Lothrop Publishing Company, 1905. Hardcover. Illustrations by Rose Cecil O'Neal. Small 8vo. Green pictorial cloth. ix, 371pp, (2pp ads). Frontispiece, 3 full-page plates. Good plus. Tight as the day it was published, but the cloth has suffered a moderate overall "flecking" which is sometimes seen on books of this era and which of course detracts somewhat from the appearance. Still, a very decent copy of this rather uncommon title. .
