Title: The Peregrine's Saga and Other Stories of the Country Green.
Description: Collins, London, 1923. 1st Edition. Hardcover. First edition, never reprinted in this original form. 8vo. 301pp + viii publisher's catalogue at the rear. Green vertically ribbed cloth, lettered in gold at the spine and with two blind borders to the upper board. With a frontispiece and four plates by Warwick Reynolds. Spine ends rubbed with a touch of spotting to the top edge and a little discolouration to the cloth at the upper board. Just a hint of spotting to the free endpapers and half-title. A very good copy housed in the most uncommon dust wrapper, alas a somewhat handled example - dust soiled, nicked with nine or ten small areas of edge loss, and with five areas of internal taped repair and a little fading to the publisher's red spine panel lettering. The remnants of a small sticker to the base of the spine panel. A modern facsimile of the dust wrapper is included, this one reproduced from a fine specimen. Sixteen stories, the author's fourth book. 600 copies were printed. Very Good/Fair.
