Price: US$99.28 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: A neat, very sound copy of this scarce edition. Octavo in publisher's original green cloth, gilt title to spine, 295 pages. Ex-library copy stamped on front pastedown, flyleaf, and (faintly) on top edge, borrower slip pasted to flyleaf. The author, brother of W. B. Yeats, was an artist / illustrator who created the first cartoon strip version of Sherlock Holmes in 1894. At the centre of this novel are two Irish tramps, very reminiscent of Becket's tramps in 'Waiting for Godot'. Yeats has not yet achieved the critical regard he deserves. Listing with ABEbooks since 2003, we guarantee our book descriptions, & post the next business day.
