The Yarn of Old Harbour Town

W. Clark [William] Russell
Unwin, London · 1905

First Edition. Very scarce first UK edition of this novel by Clark Russell, 'the prose Homer of the ocean'. Original mottled green cloth lwith illustrations in red, black and white and ettered in gilt and black. 4546pp text with tissue-guarded photo frontis. [Wolff #6076].

Minor scuffing to headand tail of spine; inner hinges strained but holding. A good copy of a scarce. late novel by this unjustly neglected author.

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