Description: London, The Hermes Press, 1905. 26 x 19 cm. Gilt blue and green cloth with art . 120 p. Illustrated. First edition. Backstrip worn at the edges, cover rubbed. Bizarre book containing epigonistic poetry, several portraits of the youthful author Johnny Moray Stuart-Young (1881-1939), forged letters of Oscar Wilde and a nicely made-up Memoir. Interesting art-nouveau binding. Stuart-Young was raised in a slum, but dreamed of a writing career.
