DIOGENES OF LONDON AND OTHER FANTASIES AND SKETCHES

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original dark blue buckram with titles in gilt to the spine. All edges untrimmed. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with minor bumping at the spine tips, the cloth with a few tiny marks. The contents are clean throughout, without spotting, inscriptions or stamps. Publisher's catalogue (dated October 1892) to the rear. A very attractive example.

The Australian-born, British author's first short story collection. Thirty-two mostly gothic horror and supernatural tales that includes: 'The Devil of the Marsh', 'The Thing in the Copse', 'The Brazen Cross' and 'The Sword of Kadi'.
