The Child of the Cavern
Jules Verne
Sampson Low, London · 1883
First Edition Thus. Lovely early edition of this scarce Verne classic. Third edition dated 1883, and identical in format to the first edition of 1877.
Taves and Michaluk mention a second edition of 1878 but not this one, referring only to subsequent cheap editions. This is the full price original edition in publisher's green cloth lettered and illustrated in gilt and black and with the full complement of 44 full-page illustrations. Binding tight and clean.
Occasional grubby marks to margins but overall a very good copy. Barbant (illustrator).
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
