Edges, front and rear foxed, else, tidy and tight. A very good copy of the posthumously published short story collection. Comprising four short stories: 'The Warrior's Soul,' Prince Roman,' The Tale,' and 'The Black Mate'. Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham (1852-1936) was a founder of the National Party of Scotland and the first President of the Scottish Nationalist Party, as well as an adventurer and author. A close friend of Conrad's, the Scot also helped with research for Nostromo (1904). 'The Prince of Preface Writers,' according to G. K. Chesterton, here Cunninghame Graham concludes: "There is a fountain in Marrakesh with a palm tree near it, a gem of Moorish art, with tiles as iridescent as the scales upon a lizard's back. Written in Cufic characters, there is this legend, " Drink and admire". Read and admire; then return thanks to Allah who gives water to the thirsty and as long intervals sends us refreshment for the soul."
