First American Edition. Spine and covers somewhat marked and worn, but a good copy.

In fine dust jacket. The 'owner of the copyright' guarantees that 'The Young Visitors' is the unaided effort in fiction of an authoress of nine nears. 'Effort,' however, is an absurd word to use, as you may see by studying the triumphant countenance of the child herself, which is here reproduced as frontispiece to her sublime work. This is no portrait of a writer who had to burn the oil at midnight (indeed there is documentary evidence that she was hauled off to bed every evening at six): it has an air of careless power; there is a complacency about it that by the severe might perhaps be called smugness. It needed no effort for that face to knock off a masterpiece. Bookplate on front pastedown. Otherwise fine 12 mo. Marbled paper covered boards. With a Preface by J. M. Barrie (illustrator).…
