The Luck of the Vails

E.F. Benson
Heinemann, London · 1901

First Edition. First edition of this scarce, early Benson novel, the 3rd of 18 to appear over the Heinemann imprint between 1899 and 1913. Publisher's ochre cloth lettered in black and decorated in red, black and green. 323pp text + 32p undated ads, edges untrimmed.

Vague general grubbiness to cloth and slight signs of shelf wear but internally very clean and a sound copy of a book rarely encountered in better shape.

Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
