Two books (Majorie Daw & Other Stories, and Queen of Sheba) bound in one volume. Author’s authorised editions, 1885, in both cases. The Queen of Sheba is the first UK edition and contains several stories not present in the earlier American collection. 312p & 212pp. Half-bound in leather with gilt decoration. Five spine compartments separated by raised bands. 24mo. Partial loss of spine label & worn & rubbed at cover edges with tiny single cracks at head and heel of spine. All edges gilt. Beautifully marbled, four-coloured endpapers. Hinge cracked between half-title and title page but otherwise tight and robust. Two previous owners’ inscriptions, one on verso of front free endpaper dated 1894 and one on preliminary page dated 1992. Both neat. Very slight discolouration at edges of first and last two or three leaves, otherwise bright, crisp and clean internally. A lovely little volume.
