Copy number 42 of the specially bound Collectors' Edition limited to 90 copies. This is a facsimile of the 1918 first edition.
The middle name of F.C. Selous is usually spelled "Courteney". The Millais variant of "Courtenay" was not corrected by his publishers and at page xii of the introduction by Burke to this book it seems as if Millais was adamant about the "correct" spelling despite what Selous himself used!!.
Number VII in the Heritage Series.
Housed in the original dark green buckram book cloth covered slip case.
Quarter green leather binding with gilt titling on the spine, title label, green buckram boards. Top edge gilt.
