HUCKEL, Oliver - Parsifal: A Mystical Drama by Richard Wagner Retold in the Spirit of the Bayreuth Interpretation

New York, Thomas Y. Crowell & Co, 1903. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Red blind-embossed cloth with gilt lettering. xviii, 71pp. Top edge gilt. Frontispiece, 4 full-page called-for illustrations. Very good. Binding a tad edgeworn (mainly at spine head/tail), with spine a bit sunned, else tight and internally near fine. Nice first edition of this prose version of the German composer's 1882 opera, itself a retelling of a 13th century Arthurian poem about Percival's search for the Holy Grail. Huckel (1864-1940) was a Congregationalist pastor who penned no less than nine works based on Wagner operas. Rather uncommon. .
