First Edition. Very scarce first edition in the original Hungarian of this collection of fictional sketches. 3-page introduction by Jokai Mor. The principal interest of the book, however, is the binding.
Superb art nouveau or secessionist publisher's binding featuring characteristic swirls in chocolate, dark brown, grey and gold. Floral end-papers, speckled page edges, 200pp. Minor scuffing but a Very Good copy that belongs in a collection of binding styles.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
